Minneapolis public housing chief picked to lead NYCHA


Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Tuesday that the city had tapped Gregory Russ as Nycha’s new chairman, following 14 months without a permanent leader and after an exhaustive nationwide search, which included a salary increase to entice reluctant candidates.



Gregory Russ, current head of Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, has been picked to lead the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). 

Russ told The New York Times, “Nycha’s issues actually are not just important for New York City, but they’re important nationally.”

Currently, Russ oversees housing for 11,000 people in Minneapolis. NYCHA, on the other hand, houses over 400,000 residents. The New York Times reports that Russ's annual salary, $402,000, will make him New York City's highest-earning public official. 

The decision comes as New York's Regional Plan Association selects Peterson Rich Office to oversee research into finding ways for addressing NYCHA's unmet capital improvement needs, an effort that will require over $45 billion in repairs.

Editors’ Choice 2020 Skyscraper Competition Ruwan Fernando Australia Ever since the Apollo mission showed us the first images of our ‘pale blue dot’ from space, the idea of the world as a ‘whole’ has captured the people’s imagination. Going beyond borders, oceans, and thinking of the continents as a continuous entity comes from this vision. Fifty years later, we face the existential threat of ecological disaster, and maybe revisiting the whole earth project seems like a way of recapturing that drive. This proposal looks at a network of towers that span across the oceans connecting the planet in a matrix that provides energy cleans the oceans and gives new chances for life to thrive. Fusion, Solar, and Hydro-power are used in this matrix with all of these being in high abundance in the ocean. The towers are also self-sufficient and mine minerals from the water as well as farm to support their communities. Research and manufacturing also feature heavily. The connections of the g
