NHSNYC OFFICIALLY WELCOMES TONYA ORES AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
New York, NY – November 4, 2024 – Neighborhood Housing Services of New York City, Inc. (NHSNYC) is thrilled to officially welcome Tonya Ores as its Chief Executive Officer, beginning today, November 4, 2024. After a thorough executive search led by NHSNYC’s Board of Directors, Ms. Ores was tapped to take the helm of the organization. A formal announcement of her appointment was made on September 5, 2024.
With more than 27 years of experience in affordable housing and community development, Ms. Ores is a proven leader in creating and preserving affordable housing opportunities and empowering residents and communities at large. She joins NHSNYC from NHS Brooklyn, where she served as CEO and played a pivotal role in expanding affordable housing and community development programs across the borough.
Ms. Ores’ journey with NHSNYC extends back to her role as Executive Director of NHS Brooklyn from 2001 to 2016, when it was a subsidiary of NHSNYC. Ms. Ores took on the role of CEO of NHS Brooklyn in 2016, following its transition to an independent 501(c)3 organization. Under her leadership, NHS Brooklyn expanded its operations beyond its main office in East Flatbush, to include Canarsie, and most recently, Coney Island, which opened October 17, 2024.
As CEO, Ms. Ores will lead NHSNYC’s strategic direction, operations, and partnerships. She will work closely with NHSNYC’s Board of Directors, Advisory Board, staff, and community partners to build on the organization’s strong legacy of service. Her leadership will focus on advancing NHSNYC’s mission of creating and preserving affordable housing opportunities, fostering financial empowerment, and revitalizing neighborhoods across New York City through the organization’s Homeownership and Lending programs and services.
Please join us in welcoming Tonya Ores as NHSNYC’s new CEO. We look forward to her leadership as we continue our mission to empower communities, promote homeownership, and enhance the quality of life for residents across New York City.
