NYCHA Five-Year Plan to Install Heat Pumps and Clean Heating Systems in 20,000 Apartments

New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) announced a Sustainability Agenda in April 2026 targeting the installation of clean electric heating and cooling systems in 20,000 apartments over five years. The city's Housing Preservation Department has allocated funding for heat pump installation in nearly 2,800 households across 70 existing buildings. A model sustainability apartment showcasing heat pumps, induction stoves and far-infrared heating panels was unveiled at Brooklyn Navy Yard as part of ongoing renovation efforts.
