"These Community Project Funding checks represent just a small down payment on the work that we need to continue to do in this city ... so each and every opportunity that presents itself to stand up for public housing residents and to stand up for seniors, I’m going to stand for public housing residents and stand up for seniors,"

Jeffries reiterated that he will keep backing public housing residents and seniors, in the context of announcing $1 million in NYCHA community project funding for repairs and security upgrades.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Jeffries has continued to advocate for major federal public housing investment, including support for a $70 billion public housing repair agenda, and he secured targeted federal funding for NYCHA repairs such as $1.85 million for fire alarm upgrades at Marcy and Tompkins Houses. Those actions show meaningful same-term effort and some delivered repair funding for NYCHA. However, the available evidence does not show that a bold nationwide public housing infrastructure investment was enacted at the scale promised, nor that it broadly built more units and funded long-overdue repairs across NYCHA developments. This merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
