More than 60 current and former employees of the New York City Housing Authority have been charged with bribery and extortion by federal prosecutors in Manhattan, marking a record single-day number of bribery charges for the Department of Justice. The employees are accused of accepting cash payments from contractors in exchange for awarding NYCHA contracts. The housing agency, which provides affordable homes for over 300,000 New Yorkers, has been plagued by complaints about aging buildings and a lack of affordable housing in one of the world's priciest cities.
