Welcome to the Manhattan North District Council of Presidents website.
We are Public Housing Leaders representing the largest public housing authority (PHA) in North America, NYCHA. More than 400,000 New Yorkers reside in NYCHA’s 328 public housing developments across the City’s five boroughs. Another 235,000 receive subsidized rental assistance in private homes through the NYCHA-administered Section 8 Leased Housing Program.
Our role as resident council leaders is to improve the quality of life and resident satisfaction, participate in self-help initiatives that enable residents to create a positive living environment for their families living in public housing.
