The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), created by urbanist Charles Abrams, provides housing for small and modest profits residents throughout the five boroughs of New York City. NYCHA also administer a citywide Section 8 Leased Housing series in rental apartments. Many of its facilities are known popularly as projects or "developments" and are associated with scarcity and offense. As a safety measure, these premises are patrolled by the NYPD Housing Bureau, with a total of 9 "PSA's," or Police Service Areas that watch each borough except Staten Island which has a divided unit from the Housing Bureau command known as the "SIHU"
NYCHA was created in 1934. At the end of 1935, NYCHA dedicated its first improvement, called First Houses, located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The Housing Authority boomed in partnership with Robert Moses after World War II as a part of Moses' plan to clear old tenements and remake New York as a modern city. The majority of NYCHA developments were built between 1945 and 1965.
