The lawsuit accuses NYCHA and OTDA of discriminatory practices in the allocation of rental assistance funds to primarily Black and Hispanic renters during the pandemic.
NYCHA residents were allegedly discouraged from applying for assistance, resulting in a significant disparity in approval rates compared to non-subsidized applicants.
Data indicates that COVID-19 disproportionately impacted Black and Hispanic residents, leading to a disparate impact on NYCHA residents as a result of the agencies' practices and policies.
