Genuine question: what is the non municipal bond approach on the table?

Like are we talking about a public bank? Because I generally assumed that that would also involve municipal bonds? Or just pushing for a cash influx without debt?

Within the debate it’s just more section 9 and/or direct operating subsidies that are not voucher-based

is anyone saying they don't want direct op subs or section 9 increases besides republicans in congress?

Right. And it’s also that - to the extent that section 9 is not very flexible and bars you from getting other types of subsidies - maybe it puts us in a politically stronger position if there is a way to stay public, but be funded through section 8.

Dems don’t like funding section 9 not just for ideological reasons (though there are plenty) but because it’s political loser: big lift to bring Rs to table, no delivery for their district (it’s really mostly concentrated in NY)

So one argument for the preservation trust is that by keeping NYCHA public but creating a workaround that makes the agency eligible for section 8 funding streams, we strengthen our hand politically both in DC and in Albany.
