Renovations completed for thousands of NYCHA residents in Brooklyn
NEW YORK -- Thousands of people living in New York City Housing Authority buildings in Brooklyn now have newly renovated homes.
It's thanks to a partnership between the city and the federal government.
For about $430 million, apartments in nine buildings received new kitchens, bathrooms and more.
Mayor Eric Adams celebrated the project's completion Friday.
"Generation after generation, we've been philosophical as elected officials. While tenants, they were living like this while we were debating on how and why. We should have focused on one thing -- get stuff done," he said.
The improvements affect about 6,000 people in over 2,600 NYCHA apartments.
