NYCHA Chairwoman Shola Olatoye answered questions on the Triboro Preservation Partners agreement. On February 10, 2015 the City Council Committee on Public Housing held an oversight hearing on Triborough Preservation Partners, a public-private agreement between the New York City Housing Authority, L+M Development Partners, and BFC Partners. The venture was designed to rehabilitate six of NYCHA’s Section 8 properties containing nine hundred units: Bronxchester Houses, Saratoga Square, Campos Plaza, Milbank-Frawley, East 4th Street, and East 120th Street. Under the terms of the agreement, L+M and BFC own a fifty percent stake in the properties over the next thirty years.
