Q&A

Hanif asks about case management tracker and MOPD tracking outcomes

New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:35:39 · 1 min 37 sec

Hanif asks whether CCHR can share tracker data after the hearing and whether MOPD tracks whether CCHR resolves referred cases. Kamuf Ward says the annual report numbers come from an internal database being improved, and Morig says MOPD does not track every referral outcome.

Shahana K. Hanif

And your case management system, there's a tracker you're seeing on the particular issue areas, which we would be able to have access to after this hearing?

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

So the numbers in our annual report are the numbers of all of the reports of discrimination that we get, including the referrals.

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

And that's like an internal database system, which is something that we are striving to improve by procuring a new case management system because some of the fields

make it hard to report out on the specifics of referrals and details of cases.

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

But that is the kind of basis of our annual report numbers, which is everything that comes to us as a matter.

Shahana K. Hanif

And then everything that MOPD referred out, are you all then tracking whether CCHR accepts and resolves these cases?

Belkis Morig

So as you know, we're a small office and we get, you know, hundreds of calls a month.

Belkis Morig

So we don't track every individual call after we refer it.

Belkis Morig

There are some where there's, you know, like project equal access cases.

Belkis Morig

We have a physical accessibility.

Belkis Morig

We have two.

Belkis Morig

Well, we're hiring a second, but we have physical accessibility specialists and they will directly contact CCHR's project equal access.

Belkis Morig

And for those cases, there is an exchange of information of, you know, and CCHR lets us know that they take it from here.

Belkis Morig

And generally speaking, unless the constituent comes back to us, we don't track eventual outcomes.
