Governor Cuomo announced that nearly $42 million in state funding will be committed to bolstering safety and security at New York City Housing Authority developments. The allocation will pay for security cameras, interior and exterior lighting and gunfire detection technology, among other enhancements.
New York Police Department data for the period from January 1 through October 11 show that shootings and robberies at NYCHA developments have increased this year compared to last. Some developments have seen especially sharp increases in violent crime, including several of those that will be receiving funding for safety and security hardware and technology.
The $41.7 million of safety and security upgrades announced today were developed by the New York State Homes and Community Renewal in consultation with local stakeholders, including NYCHA tenants, who identified developments that have seen spikes in violence, or have had ongoing, longer-term problems with crime.
The 2015-16 enacted State Budget invests $477 million for a multitude of housing programs, including $248 million from the JP Morgan settlement proceeds to support various affordable housing and community development programs, such as the $100 million for upgrades to NYCHA facilities. The $100 million allocation was intended to enable NYCHA to make needed, short-term, quality-of-life improvements to its developments.
Although I agree -- I think that if people commit crimes, they should be forced out of NYCHA. Kind of like when immigrants who have not become citizens commit certain kinds of crimes, they get deported.

lol how about evicting all those with criminal records. and put time limits on how long one can live in nycha
not a bad idea. they should add a clause to all leases, that if you're caught housing someone with a criminal record, then the lease holder should also be prosecuted. that'll learn em.

Not for all crimes but for certain crimes if one is convicted one can indeed be evicted out of NYCHA and if any family member or friend hosts such a person and gets caught they have to kick them out or they will all be evicted.
Depending on the crime one can have one's benefits canceled as well.

Well I guess this policy is not exactly having the desired effect!
Idleness is the mother of vice. These criminals should not be supported by taxpayer money but rather should be out there busting arse to earn a living just like the rest of us. By the time they got home from work, they should be too damn tired to think about anything else.
