If you were to tell Tiffany Wright several years ago that she’d be making a huge difference for New York City’s public housing sector at the beginning of her
career, she probably wouldn’t believe you.
Now, 20 years later, Wright works for Faria Management as the Director of Community Management. Over the course of her career, she has helped over 50,000 public housing residents through her work for the most vulnerable, low-income communities and residents. Faria Management is currently working with Dantes Partners, which is currently changing lives for nearly 900 residents in Washington Heights, Harlem and Sugar Hill through the NYCHA PACT program. This project, estimated at $166M, includes 557 units across 3 high-rise buildings at Audubon Houses, Bethune Gardens and Marshall Plaza, and results in fully upgraded apartment units, with Dantes Partners as the sole developer.
Wright also noted that Faria will step in to help assist during graduation season, host a summer youth program as well as an internship program. Among the more popular gatherings include Breakfast with Santa during the holidays and their very own Senior Prom for the building’s senior residents. “If there are events that are happening in the area, we’re making sure the residents are aware of movie nights in the park or if there’s a street festival carnival that happens in Harlem once a month, we’re making sure the residents are aware of that,” said Wright. “We try to reinforce the things that we’re actually doing and trying to make sure that we’re creating a community or reinforcing what’s already there.
