Brad has a decades-long, proven track record of standing up for NYCHA residents and fighting to strengthen public housing. From opposing HOPE VI plans to demolish and privatize public housing, to securing hundreds of millions of dollars for comprehensive modernization at Gowanus and Wyckoff Houses (as part of the Gowanus Rezoning), Brad has consistently prioritized keeping NYCHA homes permanently affordable and publicly owned.

As Comptroller, Brad didn’t just talk about oversight—he gave NYCHA residents real power by establishing the first-ever “NYCHA Resident Audit Committee,” amplifying resident voices and exposing wasteful spending. His audit of NYCHA vendors revealed millions wasted on broken repair systems, leading his team to design a "Yelp for NYCHA Repairs" system to hold contractors accountable, and empower tenants directly. Another Comptroller audit showed the higher eviction rates in PACT developments, leading Brad to commit to a majority tenant vote before a NYCHA development is transferred to a different status.

With firsthand experience managing housing nonprofits, Brad knows what it takes to deliver safe, well-maintained homes. As Mayor, he’ll bring that same commitment to ensuring every NYCHA resident has a safe, dignified home—and a voice in shaping the future of their community.
