Summary
This report, released in partnership with CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities, reveals significant gaps in the provision of language access services to limited English proficient (LEP) Asian tenants of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Tenants are not connected with NYCHA to receive interpretation or translation for crucial housing matters, are unable to request repairs or navigate the repairs process in the languages they speak, and must turn to family and friends for the assistance they should be receiving from NYCHA.
The report details recommendations to reform NYCHA’s systems and services to give LEP Asian tenants genuine, meaningful access to critical information about their housing, and to allow them to participate more fully in the broader NYCHA community.
