The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) Resident Training Academy connects public housing residents to training and careers with NYCHA. BWI and our partners prepare trainees for a range of opportunities, including caretaker and construction-related roles. The application process begins with NYCHA’s Resident Economic Empowerment Services (REES) unit. Accepted applicants participate in up to six weeks of full-time training. That is followed by an application process that could lead to a strong career path with NYCHA.
