Chelsea NYCHA project gets federal greenlight as litigation persists
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) received federal approval to convert Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea housing to Section 8, involving demolition and rebuilding for 2,056 residents with plans for thousands of mixed-income units. Housing advocates oppose the project, citing displacement risks and insufficient low-income housing, while NYCHA argues it aligns with its mission and includes healthcare and community facilities.
