Irony is that I live in Housing which is allowing men to harass and bully females in the building, including me. The management points the finger at the victims and wants to have a meeting with me about "my behavior" while that topic is a result of how I was being treated. I am looking forward to being able to suggest that HUD housing managers and staff all be required to complete courses on DV and SV! 00:39:46 Kenza Idrissi Janati, NLIHC (she/her): Reacted to "A win, I recently wa..." with ❤️ 00:40:08 John Leyva: Reacted to "A win, I recently wa..." with ❤️ 00:40:12 Emily Kavanagh: Reacted to "I own my townhouse..." with ❤️ 00:40:22 lin: Reacted to A win, I recently wa... with "💜" 00:40:26 Sid Betancourt, NLIHC (she/they): Reacted to "A win, I recently wa..." with ❤️ 00:40:50 Sid Betancourt, NLIHC (she/they): Replying to "A win, I recently wa..."

PHA was initiated to serve as a stepping stone—to help residents take advantage of opportunities like homeownership for those seeking to build generational legacy, Section 3 for learning a trade, and/or Section 3 ROBusinesses. These are meaningful programs created by HUD. Unfortunately, many Tenant Leaders within NYCHA have not prioritized making these tools accessible to residents. It’s important that we now make space for newly arrived individuals to access the same opportunities you worked so hard for and endured. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
