On Tuesday, May 11, 2021, via Zoom, NYCHA Federal Monitoring Team Member Joseph Jaffe and Resident Engagement Team Leader, Asha Muldro, hosted a community meeting for Manhattan residents, tenant association presidents, elected officials, and community leaders.
Mr. Jaffe opened the meeting updating attendees on NYCHA’s implementation plan which is part of the organizational transformation plan. He noted that final plans will be successful only if all the stakeholders are involved beyond just being informed. The Monitor is seeking complete resident participation.
