This City Limits video delves into the complexities of a vote that will impact Nostrand Houses tenants in the near term, and explores the choices thousands of additional public housing tenants will have to make in the coming years.

Wednesday is a monumental day for the New York City Housing Authority and residents at the Nostrand Houses in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.

For the first time, tenants will begin to vote on what they want the future of their communities and homes to look like. Over the next 30 days, residents can choose between three funding models.

One is to remain as traditional Section 9 public housing, another is to opt for private management under the Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program, and a third is to join the New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust, a new government entity that can issue bonds to fund rehabilitation efforts.
