FOR: The Push to Stop the Demolition of Public Housing in Chelsea

Public Housing Tenants Organize Against Demolition in the Heart of Manhattan

As the city’s affordable housing crisis remains center stage, New York
City’s vast public housing stock is relatively overlooked and unprotected.
Nowhere is this more pressing than in Chelsea, where a proposal to demolish
public housing in the neighborhood has spurred tenant organizing determined
to defend their community from privatization, gentrification, and
displacement.
