NYCHA Community Facilities Directory with Sponsorship Data

Community facilities located on New York City Housing Authority property, including centers, clinics, and programs open to the public. The dataset includes development name, address, contact information, sponsoring organization, and geographic identifiers. It is provided by data.cityofnewyork.us and was last updated in February 2025.

Use Cases

• Map facility locations and density by BOROUGH or Community Board using Latitude and Longitude coordinates.
• Analyze the relationship between PROGRAM TYPE (e.g., Senior Center, Day Care) and FUNDING AGENCY or SPONSOR.
• Assess service coverage by correlating facility addresses with demographic data from Census Tract or NTA fields.
• Identify contact points for community outreach using the SPONSOR and ADDRESS columns for specific DEVELOPMENTS.

Strengths

• Includes precise geolocation data via Latitude and Longitude columns for mapping.
• Contains multiple administrative geographic identifiers (Census Tract, Council District, NTA, BBL) for cross-referencing.
• Lists specific operational details like PROGRAM TYPE, SPONSOR, and FUNDING AGENCY.

Limitations

• Total number of facility records (row count) is unknown, preventing assessment of coverage completeness.
• Update frequency is described as 'on a need basis,' which may lead to temporal staleness for some records.
• Sample data is unavailable, making it difficult to verify data structure and quality prior to download.
