Hakeem continues to push for a bold investment in our nation’s public housing infrastructure, so we can build more units and invest in necessary, long-overdue repairs to existing NYCHA developments.

Assessments
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.
