Equal Opportunity at NYCHA
Dear Colleagues,
As CEO of NYCHA, I affirm my unwavering commitment to provide our employees with equal employment opportunities (EEO) in a workplace free from discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. Discrimination of any kind, including on the basis of any characteristic protected by law, is contrary to our values and will not be tolerated. Such principles are important to maintain in our day-to-day work and integral to NYCHA’s continued growth and transformation.
NYCHA leadership must promote a work environment based on NYCHA’s core values and must take proactive roles within their areas of responsibility to ensure our EEO policies are upheld. This includes reviewing NYCHA’s EEO and Sexual Harassment policies with staff and reporting any allegations of discrimination or sexual harassment promptly to NYCHA’s Office of EEO, Fair Housing, and Access Services (EFAS) at efas@nycha.nyc.gov or (212) 306-4468.
All NYCHA employees share in the responsibility of fostering a discrimination-free culture where everyone feels empowered to reach their full potential. Our differences make us stronger and enrich our perspectives, enabling us to better serve our residents and larger communities.
If you have any questions or concerns related to EEO matters, please do not hesitate to reach out to EFAS. EFAS has a dedicated team who will review your concerns and allegations to determine the appropriate next steps, including, but not limited to, conducting an internal investigation.
Thank you for your shared commitment to ensuring EEO practices and policies are adhered to within NYCHA.
In partnership,
Lisa Bova-Hiatt, Chief Executive Officer
