Why NYC’s Move to Privatize Public Housing Could Impact the Rest of the Country

Why NYC’s Move to Privatize Public Housing Could Impact the Rest of the Country

When Fanta Kaba was growing up, her family moved around a lot: Harlem, Queens, the Bronx, even North Carolina for a while. But when they moved into public housing, they finally found stability. Now, a controversial plan is changing the way public housing operates — and a lot of residents are scared about the future of their homes.

On this week’s show, Fanta — a reporter for WNYC’s Radio Rookies — speaks with residents, organizers and officials as she tries to find out what this program means for families like hers. Then Kai is joined by Tatyana Turner, an award-winning journalist covering housing for City Limits, to speak about the changes to NYCHA, New York City’s Housing Authority, and what it could mean for public housing programs around the country.

This story was made in collaboration with WNYC’s Radio Rookies program. Radio Rookies is supported in part by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Epstein Teicher Philanthropies, the Margaret Neubart Foundation, and The Pinkerton Foundation.
