Lisa Bova-Hiatt explains how NYCHA works with RAD/PACT partners on handling tenant arrears, emphasizing extensive outreach efforts before considering eviction.
- RAD/PACT partners must follow guidelines similar to NYCHA's
- In 2024, 6,817 pre-eviction outreach cases were initiated for PACT properties
- Only 98 evictions were executed out of those cases
- The goal is to encourage rent payment, not to evict residents

How does NYCHA work with the RadPack partners on a case by case basis for tenants in RAD PAC developments that are in arrears?
Lisa Bova-Hiatt
2:23:20
We have guidelines that our PACT partners must follow which basically mirror our guidelines.
2:23:29
There is a tremendous amount of outreach that they must do before proceeding to, like through an eviction process.
2:23:42
And in 2024 for example, there were 6,817 pre eviction outreach cases were initiated in 2024 for PACT.
2:23:59
However, the total number of people who were evicted in 2024 was 98.

90 eight out of the 20

Right.
2:24:15
And the 24,000 RadPack units.

So there's a tremendous amount of work that's done.
2:24:23
Like the goal is to get people to start paying their rent not to evict people whether it's in PACT or at NYCHA.
