Grant Park is to remain current with. Although it was to be completed in stages to permit continued use by children of some areas of the park. However, the development of a series of large sink holes in the children's play area in the park's southwestern quadrant has effectively shut down the entire park indefinitely. This adversely impacts the entire community the park has historically served. Currently nearly $30 million ($25.7 through NDF) has been allocated for reconstruction of the park, roadbed, playground and basketball court.

We are requesting additional permanent City Parks workers in Bronx CB4 who clean and cut grass in the parks on a regular basis. It would also allow Parks to staff more sites regularly with "fixed post" employees as opposed to the use of mobile crews to service certain sites. We believe that where possible, a dedicated presence of on-site maintenance staff can allow for more "caring" and detailed maintenance of the park. We are also in need of more Associate Park Service Workers, who haul away trash, drive large vehicles and lead crews in the field. In addition, seasonal staff augments the fulltime staff during peak season and are essential to the level of maintenance needed.

Where can CB4 add to its expectation of HPD that it maintains its commitment that all older housing stock be maintained in good condition with landlords making necessary repairs or have consequences levied against their ownership. In addition, HPD should protect renters from unreasonable rent increases for improvements made to buildings and rent increases to apartments when tenants move out. Increase fines to landlords that do not take care of repairs. We would like to revamp the 311-call system to make sure HPD inspectors verify the issue has been addressed before the case is closed. Additionally, to hold HPD accountable, we would like a system in place showing how HPD monitors its housing stock. How it monitors building conditions, inspection schedules and enforcement.

1. Published May 12, 2026 OMB supports the agency's position as follows: Agency supports but cannot accommodate Explanation: "HPD Code Enforcement and Preservation units, through the Housing Maintenance Code and Multiple Dwelling Laws, ensure that housing quality is upheld and maintained. If there are Housing Maintenance Code issues, HPD will issue the appropriate violations at the time of inspection. HPD has several enhanced enforcement programs that address certain conditions when owners fail to address violations. In the longer term, HPD works closely with interested and willing property owners to advance preservation financing to ensure the necessary repairs are completed while guaranteeing affordability. HPD is not able to regulate rent increases on individual apartments. The State Legislature recently passed legislation that would limit rent increases for certain buildings, see more on our website: https://www.nyc.gov/site/hpd/services-and-information/good-cause-eviction.page. If the building has a Regulatory Agreement with HPD, the agency may be able to prevent a property owner from filing a rent increase in conjunction with the work that is required to be completed through preservation financing."""

To strengthen our community to vital housing resources, we propose expanding community visibility. We can host regular tabling events at local CBOs and raise awareness of housing programs and services such as SCRIE, DRIE, Home Base, CityFHEPS, etc. We can simplify the application process for these programs and provide clear eligibility requirements. Additionally, we may request that agencies consider extending the duration of housing subsidies to better support the housing stability of our residents. Bringing awareness of collaborations of Housing Fairs and similar events with the Councilmember, WHEDco, and HPD. These will offer opportunities for residents to connect with housing providers and available support. Also allocate funding and develop housing for young adults ages 18-24 transitioning out of foster care. This group of individuals deserves support to prevent homelessness and encourage independence

We recommend that DHS continue strengthening its partnerships with HPD and HRA to increase the number of affordable housing units available to individuals and families whose incomes align with the community average. Currently, many CD4 residents are rent-burdened, paying well above what they can afford. HRA can provide CityFHEPS rental assistance to individuals in need of housing support, an essential tool in stabilizing vulnerable households. It is imperative that any housing development or program seeking to build within the district engage the community before breaking ground. This is especially critical given CD4's role in supporting shelter and refugee populations, and its hosting of a DHS intake center. Safe, stable, affordable, and permanent housing is foundational to public health. Prioritizing transparency, equity, and community engagement is key to building healthier neighborhoods.

Organizations such as NAICA, Comunilife, Fortune Society, Project Renewal, Unique People Services, and Samaritan Village offer proven models for transitional and permanent housing. These models should be scaled citywide.

Shelter conditions must be improved to ensure safety and dignity, and hospitality must reflect participants' rights and humanity, not just politeness.

Additional staffing is needed to create safer, more supportive environments for all. Formerly incarcerated individuals often re-enter communities with limited support.
