Council Member Hudson inquires about the process for OACs in NYCHA sites undergoing RAD/PACT conversions. NYCHA representatives explain that OACs remain open with the same provider during conversions, unless infrastructure issues require temporary closure for renovations.
- OACs continue operations with the same provider during RAD/PACT conversions
- If infrastructure issues exist, the center may close temporarily for renovations
- Developers address repairs for OACs similar to apartment renovations
- NYCHA unable to provide specific timelines for Rain Bailey OAC renovations

Yeah.
1:47:04
But let me let me just ask a question.
1:47:06
So for for Radpac conversions, what is the process for o OACs in those sites?
1:47:16
Are they all shut down, or do they remain?
1:47:19
Like, do they receive the same upgrades that the residential units receive?
1:47:24
Like, what what does that process look like as far as OACs are concerned?
Ukah Busgith
1:47:27
So if, when the center is converted, it remains open with the same provider, we don't swap them out.
1:47:35
Aging continues to fund that provider to operate the program.
1:47:39
If there are infrastructure issues, then we have to close for renovation, then we will, and the the, developer will address those repairs.
1:47:49
Yes.
1:47:49
Similar to the apartments.
Crystal Hudson
1:47:52
Okay.
1:47:53
Are there any projected timelines for completing the necessary remediation and repairs to make this facility safe and operational again?
Ukah Busgith
1:48:01
I don't have that timeline, but we can get back to you.
Crystal Hudson
1:48:04
Okay.
1:48:04
What are the current barriers to setting such a timeline?
Ukah Busgith
1:48:10
Funding is, and we're waiting for it to be converted if it's the Ford Independence.
1:48:14
I just need to confirm the site so I can get back to you on that one.
Crystal Hudson
1:48:17
Okay.
1:48:18
Do you think you you might be able to get back to me before we leave today or
Ukah Busgith
1:48:21
Yes.
Crystal Hudson
1:48:22
Okay.
1:48:25
Hold on.
