The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the largest public housing authority in North America. In spite of many problems, it is still considered to be the most successful big-city public housing authority in the country. Whereas most large public housing authorities in the United States have demolished their high-rise projects and in most cases replaced them with lower scale housing, New York's continue to be fully occupied.
