For nearly 30 years, NYCHA’s Tenant Selection and Assignment Plan (TSAP) has guided a fair and neutral process for filling vacancies with applicants and tenant transfers. We evaluate our transfer policies periodically to ensure we are serving residents and applicants as efficiently and effectively as possible, while adhering to applicable laws, regulations, and requirements.

In line with our vision for transformation, we are considering changing the current TSAP from a four-tier to a three-tier system. Tiers 1 and 2 are allocated to tenant relocations. The third tier encompasses all remaining transfer and applicant selections, which would be divided into seven rotating groups, with certain categories allocated a higher proportion of selections to reflect their priority. The revised rotation model will ensure a more balanced and efficient selection process while addressing the needs of multiple housing priorities, including health and safety matters, domestic violence, reasonable accommodations, and homelessness.

We are currently seeking feedback from stakeholders, including residents, on these proposed transfer policy changes. The TSAP changes are described in the that was released for public review on June 13 – click to review the TSAP changes. Residents and any member of the public can comment on the plan, including the proposed TSAP changes, in person or virtually at a July 30 public hearing; comments can also be submitted via email.
