The Funds focus is to support programs in the areas of Leadership Development, Workforce Skills and Health for our residents at NYCHA, to enable and empower the, to thrive and reach their full potential. Programmatic investments from the Fund's early years include the following initiatives: * Scholarships for NYCHA residents attending CUNY schools;* NYCHA youth development via the creation of youth councils;* Creation of Connected Communities, including new design guidelines for NYCHA renovation work; and* Support of NYCHA resident small business development. Early outcomes of the above investments include:1. CUNY Scholarships:Annually 10-15 CUNY students living in public housing received scholarships to support their studies. While public housing residents are typically eligible for full tuition assistance at CUNY schools, many of them do not have the resources to pay for all of their other educational needs, such as course materials, prep courses, tutoring, childcare, transportation expenses, and graduate/professional school applications. All scholarship recipients maintained their enrollment status with a minimum of a 3.0 grade point average after the first semester of their scholarship and are currently working through the second semester.2. Youth development:Youth Leadership councils have been created to represent the geographical areas in which public housing is located across the five boroughs. All of the councils have begun planning projects to improve their communities, developed in collaboration with other community members and adult resident association leaders. These young residents are developing their leadership skills, learning how to manage money, and executing projects.3. Connected Communities Design guidelines:New design guidelines for NYCHA renovations have been published that reflect the sustainability, accessibility, and aesthetic concerns of residents. They are now being incorporated into planned development rehabilitation work by NYCHA staff and contractors.4. Small Business DevelopmentBusiness Pathways program was initiated to train residents in starting their own businesses in food, catering and child care plus strategies to access markets. NYCHA Visibility and Impact In addition to programmatic investments, the Fund promotes the importance of public housing to our city and is building an "alumni" network that reconnects former NYCHA residents to the communities that contributed so much to their identities and creates an avenue for giving back. Many former residents have hyper-local pride in their NYCHA roots: the developments where they have lived. The Fund is building on this common identity to create a community of supporters that will celebrate their shared connection to NYCHA, fight the stigma of public housing, and invest new resources to improve public housing communities. It is vital to the creation of the network and the breaking of stigmas and stereotypes that the Fund invest in ways to record and publicize resident and alumni stories. There are countless stories to be told within NYCHA developments, around New York City, and beyond, that illustrate the diversity, vitality, and value of public housing residents.
