	Ping Yuen Public Housing Improvements Chinatown CDC provides on-going technical assistance to the Ping Yuen Residents Improvement Association (PYRIA), one of the most established public housing tenant-led organizations in the City that was one of the five grassroots organizations that founded the Chinatown CDC.
