NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust - Nostrand Houses

In December 2023, Nostrand Houses, located in the Sheepshead Bay neighborhood in Brooklyn, is the first NYCHA development to vote to become a Public Housing Preservation Trust site. This is a historic moment for New York City public housing, as 808 residents, 56% of whom were Heads of Households, voted in this democratic process. Ensuring their voices were heard, and they had ownership in shaping the future of their homes.

Resident Partnerships

The Trust plans on collaborating with residents and stakeholders throughout the duration of the project to ensure that resident voices are heard and included. We want residents to be active collaborators in the various processes like design to vendor selection. The Trust and NYCHA will host meetings near Nostrand Houses to inform residents and other stakeholders of the project process.

MTA - Investing in Broadway Junction

Mon, 22 Sep 2025 12:31:52 GMT

Making improvements to accessibility, circulation, and the station environment at Broadway Junction.

About the project

We’re making crucial investments to improve accessibility, circulation, and appearance at Broadway Junction, Brooklyn's third largest subway station serving the A C J Z L lines. We’ll complete critical state of good repair work, including improving, reinforcing, and refinishing platforms and passageways.

ADA accessibility at Broadway Junction will be transformative for the public realm around the station. This project complements other critical infrastructure investments occurring simultaneously in the area, including:

Preparation for bus electrification at Herkimer bus lot
Lead abatement and overcoating of elevated rail structures
City of New York public realm improvements

Project benefits

Accessibility improvements will achieve a stair-free path of travel and expand travel path options for all customers.
Seven new elevators and a new elevator-equipped passageway connecting the A C platforms to the L platforms will be constructed.
A new accessible entrance to the L platform will be built on the east side of Van Sinderen Avenue.
State of good repair work will address aging infrastructure.
We'll replace two escalators connecting the mezzanine to J Z trains, build new ADA compliant staircases, and complete station platform repairs.
Two staircases serving the J Z platform will be widened and rehabilitated.
A new public bathroom will be built at Callahan Kelly playground.

A sweeping $500 million investment to modernize Broadway Junction, one of Brooklyn's busiest transit hubs, is now underway.

However, some community leaders worry the overhaul of the transit hub at the intersection of East New York, Brownsville, and Bed-Stuy will gentrify the neighborhood as private developers submit proposals alongside public infrastructure upgrades.

Sarasota County $210 million hurricane relief grant approved.

By Ellie Davis ABC 7 My Suncoast

SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla. ( WWSB ) - This week, Sarasota becomes the first county in Florida to have its disaster recovery fund action plan approved.

After months of work, the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD ) has approved $210 million worth of funding for recovery efforts after Hurricanes Debby, Helene, and Milton.

The total amount of funding will be divided up between planning and administration, public facilities and infrastructure, and housing, funding.

“Through our initial efforts on drafting the action plan we heard quite a bit from the public as to where those needs are in the community and those have been impacted and flooded and so it has generated a lot of excitement with the plan being approved and getting the award agreement especially for those areas where infrastructure could be improved” Sarasota County Division Manager Steve Hyatt says.

For homeowners, funds will be used for those who need help rebuilding and for homeowners who started building themselves and need reimbursement.
