Job Description

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 roughly 1 in 16 New Yorkers across over 177,569 apartments within 335 housing developments through public housing, Section 8, and PACT/RAD programs.

• Development Vote Program: Administering and managing the Development Vote process, which empowers residents to vote on which modernization strategy will be implemented at their development. The team oversees outreach, education, and voting logistics to ensure an informed and equitable process.

The Voting Team aims to foster a culture of civic participation, leadership development, and accountability in NYCHA’s resident communities. The team seeks a dynamic and service-oriented Elections Manager with a passion for service.
