ALBANY — Mayor Bill de Blasio asked the State Legislature today to find $ 300 million more for the city's chronically -
underfunded public housing authority, one prong of his agenda to protect the city's affordable housing stock.
Mr. Torres, who chairs the
public housing committee, pressed Mr. Couch and Shola Olatoye — Mayor Bill de Blasio's Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer for NYCHA — on why the infamously
underfunded authority had not converted the units.
