On June 16, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust Act, which authorized creation of the NYC Public Housing Preservation Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a public benefit corporation that will oversee the renovation and rehabilitation of the city’s public housing developments, owned by the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). NYCHA remains permanent owner of the land/buildings and enters into a long-term ground lease with the Trust to secure Section 8 vouchers, a subsidy worth double NYCHA’s current federal subsidy. Using the Section 8 rental subsidy contract, the Trust will raise financing to fund comprehensive building renovations. The Trust Act limits the Trust’s initial unit volume to 25,000 units. No NYCHA site can convert to the Trust without a positive vote of the site’s residents. Under the Act, NYCHA must develop and administer a voting process to provide residents with that choice. Residents at three developments have opted into the Trust, resulting in over 1,500 units that will be financed and renovated with other potential projects in the pipeline, impacting over 2,800 residents.
The Assistant General Counsel reports directly to the General Counsel and is a key member of the Trust’s legal team. The Assistant General Counsel will assist in managing the Trust’s legal matters, focusing on affordable housing development and ownership, compliance, ethics, and regulatory affairs. This role involves providing legal advice, overseeing compliance programs, ensuring the organization adheres to all applicable laws and regulations, and developing/sharing expertise in Trust organizational structure as it relates to potential affordable housing financing vehicles and otherwise.
The primary responsibilities of the Assistant General Counsel include, but are not limited to:
Admission to the New York State Bar; and four years of recent full-time responsible, relevant, satisfactory legal experience subsequent to admission to any bar, eighteen months of which must have been in the supervision of other attorneys, in an administrative, managerial or executive capacity, or performing highly complex and significant legal work.
