The Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) program will result in repairs to your unit and building, new property management, and enhanced social services.  Buildings that participate in the PACT program will be transferred and managed by the new PACT partner team led by Brisa and Mega and will continue to be owned by NYCHA.

About the Project

What is PACT?

Through PACT, developments will be included in the federal Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) and converted to new property management through a federally funded program called Project-Based Section 8. This unlocks new funding to renovate buildings and apartments and makes sure that rents remain permanently affordable. More information is available on the NYCHA PACT Website.

Development Team

The development team will create and implement the project plan for your development based on your feedback. Two partners lead our team:

Brisa Builders Development is a minority-owned and led, second-generation development, construction management, and general contracting firm now led by Ericka Keller who brings decades of experience in affordable housing development and rehabilitation to Brisa’s mission. Whether it is new development or revitalization, Brisa Builders Development LLC is focused on creating sustainable and thriving communities. Brisa’s goal is to preserve the cultural diversity and affordability of neighborhoods facing rapid gentrification, which may disproportionately displace seniors and low-income families.

Mega Group Development is a full-service Development, Construction Management, and General Contracting firm with 30 years of building experience in neighborhoods across NYC. As a vertically integrated builder and developer, Mega offers a one-stop-shop of develop-design-build services that results in high-quality results. We have built or renovated 9,000+ apartment homes and our work can be seen across the region in projects from NYCHA renovations, to high-rise apartment buildings to commercial buildings, landmark rehabilitation projects, schools, and public infrastructure. Mega will also serve as the project’s General Contractor and will oversee and complete all construction activities.
