With the support of Oak Foundation since 2020, TakeRoot has been working with New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) residents responding to the Authority’s plans to transfer control of existing public housing to private developers and allow private housing to be built on NYCHA campuses, including launching the NYCHA Real Talk series in Fall 2021.
The NYCHA Real Talk series (#NYCHARealTalk) was created by the Center for Urban Pedagogy, Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES), WE ACT and TakeRoot Justice/Community Development Project, Inc.

Since 2021, TakeRoot has partnered with grassroots groups to train a paid cohorts of NYCHA residents on these materials so they can lead discussions with their neighbors. To date, nearly 1,000 NYCHA residents were reached through trainings led by members of these cohorts.
