Message from Chair and CEO Shola Olatoye and GM Cecil House

Dear Colleagues,

Today is a very sad day at NYCHA, as we mourn the loss of one of our very own. Ms. Toni Jackson, a Caretaker assigned to Coney Island Houses, was fatally injured while carrying out janitorial duties.

Ms. Jackson joined the NYCHA family in June 2013. She was also a resident of Marlboro Houses in Brooklyn where she lived with her two children, ages 8 and 11.

The NYCHA family is deeply saddened and extends its heartfelt sympathy and prayers to the Jackson family and friends, and to her fellow colleagues.

Our employees are the heart of NYCHA and this is a very sad day for all of us.

Sincerely,

Shola Olatoye
Cecil House
