Announcing NYCHA’s new Chief Operating Officer

Dear Residents, 

As we continue our work to strengthen and transform NYCHA, it’s important that we have continuity in the leadership vision needed to achieve these shared goals. Therefore, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Eva Trimble as NYCHA’s Chief Operating Officer effective July 25.  

Eva Trimble’s career in New York City government spans more than two decades. She joined NYCHA in 2019 as Executive Vice President for Strategy and Innovation, where she led the newly established Strategy and Innovation Department in providing a strategic, data-driven approach for the Authority to maximize available funding, ensure the efficient use of resources, and improve service delivery for residents. Her team focused on engagement with the Federal Monitor and other partners to structure and drive the development of the Transformation Plan, a new, unified strategic vision and organizational plan for the Authority. Before joining NYCHA, Ms. Trimble served in various roles at the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD); most recently, she was HPD’s Executive Deputy Commissioner, overseeing a portfolio that included Financial Management, Tenant Resources, Asset and Property Management, Technology, and Human Resources. Ms. Trimble received a Master of Public Administration from New York University (NYU) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from the University of California, Los Angeles. She is also a graduate of the Coro Leadership New York program. 

Daniel Sherrod will remain at NYCHA for the short-term as Special Advisor to the Chair/CEO for Operations, continuing his oversight work as part of the HUD Agreement. I would like to sincerely thank him for his work and dedication, for stepping in at a critical and pivotal moment in NYCHA’s history. To foster accountability and strengthen our operations teams, he focused on breaking down silos and building key partnerships that better serve residents. I look forward to our continued collaboration. 

Please join me in thanking Mr. Sherrod for his service and welcoming Ms. Trimble to her new role. We look forward to working together to keep making progress in service of residents. 

 
Sincerely, 

Greg Russ 
Chair & Chief Executive Officer
