The completion of the PACT Renaissance Collaborative (PRC) renovation of the Manhattan Bundle represents a major milestone in New York City’s efforts to preserve and protect its public housing. Sixteen New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments consisting of 38 residential buildings across upper Manhattan were converted from Section 9 to Section 8 funding under the Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program, unlocking more than $383 million for renovations. These improvements transformed living conditions for over 2,900 residents across 1,718 apartments. This case study analyzes how shifting from traditional public housing subsidies to long-term Section 8 contracts under RAD opens access to private capital and enables the financing necessary for large-scale rehabilitation and modernization.
