The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), the largest public housing authority in North America, was created in 1935 to provide decent, affordable housing for low- and moderate-income New Yorkers. NYCHA is home to 1 in 17 New Yorkers, providing affordable housing to 528,105 authorized residents through public housing and Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) programs as well as Section 8 housing. NYCHA has 177,569 apartments in 2,411 buildings across 335 conventional public housing and PACT developments. NYCHA’s mission is to provide quality housing for New Yorkers that is sustainable, inclusive, and safe, while fostering opportunities for economic mobility. Since the 2019 Agreement between NYCHA, the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD), and the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (SDNY), NYCHA has been working under a Federal Monitor structure. The HUD Agreement sets the requirement to create a new Organizational Plan in collaboration with the Federal Monitor and sets forth various compliance related targets for NYCHA across major operational areas including: Lead, Mold, Heat, Elevators, Pest, Waste Management, and Inspections.

The Department of Resident Services, Partnerships and Initiatives (RSPI) engages NYCHA residents in critical programs, services, and initiatives in the areas of economic opportunity, youth, senior and social services; serves as a liaison between residents and departments across the Housing Authority; supports NYCHA’s extensive network of Resident Associations; and connects residents to opportunities such as financial empowerment, business development, career advancement, and educational programs.

NYCHA seeks a passionate, dynamic, and results-oriented leader to serve as the Vice President of Resident Partnerships reporting to the Senior Vice President of Resident Services, Partnerships and Initiatives.

- Resident Economic Empowerment & Sustainability (REES) empowers residents to increase their income and assets through programs, policies and partnerships in four key areas: employment and advancement, business development, adult education and training, and financial literacy and asset building.
- Resident Health Initiatives builds health through engagement and partnerships. The Department leads and strategically supports internal and external collaboration that connects residents to preventive health resources, helps create healthier indoor environments, and cultivates resident leadership in health.
- Community Partnerships strengthens connections with private, public, and philanthropic sectors while improving access to community-based services and opportunities. Through the Office of Public/Private Partnerships, NYCHA manages relationships with City agency partners to support daycare, community, and older adult enters at NYCHA developments, and maintains NYCHA’s community facilities portfolio. The Community Partnerships team also manages all art installations at NYCHA developments, including murals, sculptures, plaques, and painting beautification projects.
