1. Introduction
NYCHA is seeking expressions of interest from housing relocation services providers to performing as a consultant to NYCHA on behalf of its Comprehensive Modernization (“Comp Mod”) program.
As North America’s largest public housing authority, NYCHA owns more than 177,000 housing apartments in over 2,000 buildings across 326 developments throughout New York City’s five boroughs. These developments presently require more than $40 billion in capital investment due to decades of insufficient funding and deferred maintenance. However, under the 2019 agreement between NYCHA, HUD, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and the City of New York (https://nychamonitor.com/wpcontent/uploads/2019/03/Final-Executed-NYCHA-Agreement.pdf ), the City has committed a total of $2.2 billion in funding over the next ten years for capital improvements addressing five key areas: Mold, Lead, Elevators, Pest/Waste, and Heating.
NYCHA’s Comp Mod program has been launched to get the most value out of this new funding, which supplements NYCHA’s existing capital programs that focus primarily on addressing urgent repairs and replacements of building systems and components. Going beyond repair and maintenance, the Comp Mod program will approach each development holistically to improve building performance for the long term, enhance resident’s quality of life with improved living conditions, and preserve public housing for current and future residents. The Comp Mod program supplements NYCHA’s existing capital programs which focus on addressing urgent repair, replacement and upgrade of specific site and building systems and components.
NYCHA is in the planning and early procurement stages of securing contractors for the first developments to be renovated under the Comp Mod program.
2) Tenant Relocation Services
A major component of the success of the Comp Mod program is a well-coordinated effort to temporarily relocate tenants from their apartments while certain work is being done. Relocations may be required on a full building-by-building or a building wing-by-wing basis and will be phased to coordinate with construction schedules. A relocation consultant will be required to maintain close coordination and communication with NYCHA’s tenants, property management, tenant associations, and the future contractor teams.
