Update on Mask Guidance

Dear Residents,

Yesterday, Governor Cuomo announced that New York State will adopt the CDC’s new mask guidance for fully vaccinated individuals, effective Wednesday, May 19. While we applaud this positive step in the ongoing fight in the pandemic, NYCHA is currently evaluating the impacts to our operations and safety protocols, and until that evaluation is complete, all current safety protocols regarding masks and social distancing remain in place until further notice.  

Since the start of the pandemic, NYCHA has been thoughtful and intentional when implementing protocols to keep our employees and residents safe. Thank you for your patience as we continue to navigate this changing landscape.

Sincerely,

Greg Russ   
Chair & Chief Executive Officer   

Vito Mustaciuolo  
Chief Operating Officer

Kerri Jew
Chief Administrative Officer
