- Salary range: $41,887.00 - $60,000.00- The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the nation’s oldest and largest public housing authority with more than 176,000 apartments, and responsibility for administering a citywide Section 8 leased housing program that serves over 200,000 additional tenants. NYCHA’s mission is to provide quality housing for New Yorkers that is sustainable, inclusive, and safe, while fostering opportunities for economic mobility.
- Under the direction of the Vice President of Policy, the Policy Analyst will join the policy team within the Office of the CEO and perform work focused on policy development, analysis, coordination, implementation, and evaluation. The Policy Analyst, in conjunction with the Vice President of Policy, should expect to work in close collaboration and coordination with all NYCHA departments.

- 2) Key NYCHA policies, rules, and regulations addressing broader societal or citywide policy issues. The policy team will lead the process of evaluating and developing NYCHA’s key policies, rules, and regulations, particularly those that touch on multiple NYCHA departments and involve broader citywide and societal issue areas. In coordinating this policy area, the policy team will make sure that all relevant departments are consulted and coordinated, preparing recommendation materials for review by the Chief of Staff and CEO.

Examples of such policy areas could include the impact of different re-building strategies, opportunities and impacts of expanding public housing and other new construction pathways, and long-term risk mitigation of converting properties to project-based Section 8 subsidy.
