NYCHA Meltdown: Angry tenants swamp pols with complaints at Crown Heights town hall
Call it a tale of two town halls.
What was supposed to an informational question-and-answer session turned ugly Thursday night when frustrated NYCHA housing tenants besieged a team of local politicians with angry complaints about the horrors of life in Brooklyn’s public housing projects.
In an effort to take the pulse of tenants across the borough, as well as to inform them about NYCHA’s NextGeneration and Rent Assistance Demonstration (RAD) programs, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams convened some 300 tenants and activists in the auditorium of UnCommon High School in Crown Heights.
