Alisha Bryant finds few things more rewarding in her job than telling applicants they’ve been approved for a new affordable home in New York City.

The lifelong NYCHA resident notes that one of her responsibilities as a housing lottery specialist is giving residents the exciting news about their successful housing application.

NYCHA, in partnership with HPD and local non-profit organizations, has made great progress in connecting residents to home ownership opportunities through initiatives such as the Small Homes Rehab Program. Congrats to first time homeowners Nripesh Das and Shukla Deb!

If your goals include getting your financial house in order, NYCHA can help. Did you know that NYCHA residents can now go online to request an appointment for a free one-on-one session with a certified financial counselor?
