Greg Russ - How to House 370,000 New Yorkers [City Hall Stories, Ep. 21]

Today marks the second episode of our mini-series, inside New York City Hall. Greg Russ is the Chair and CEO of the largest public housing authority in the United States, the New York City Housing Authority. Impacting over a quarter of a million people, the ability of the Agency to provide safe and warm housing since 1935 has been critical to New York’s position as a cultural and economic driver. That’s under threat, however, with massive capital demands mounting for widespread repairs. The City, State and Federal governments all turned to Greg for his wealth of experience across the country in tackling this challenge. Today we talk through the ambitious plan his team has put forward to address this, why public housing remains a critical element for any thriving city, and the unfortunate challenges around communicating the plan the Authority has faced.
