The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) provides public housing for low- and moderate-income residents throughout the five boroughs of New York City. NYCHA also administers a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing Program in rental apartments. However new applications for Section 8 have not been accepted since December 10 2009. Many of its facilities are known popularly as projects or developments. As a security measure these premises are patrolled by the NYPD Housing Bureau.
