New York City Council · Oct 16, 2026 · starts 0:33:42 · 35 sec

Hanif asks for a breakdown of the 22 referrals by employment, housing, and public accommodations. Kamuf Ward says she does not have the breakdown but believes most were housing, and agrees to follow up after the hearing.

Shahana K. Hanif

Deputy Commissioner, you mentioned that 22 cases were referred to CCHR regarding a disability-related issue.

Shahana K. Hanif

Are you able to give us a breakdown of how many concerned employment, housing, public accommodations, or any other issue areas?

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

Unfortunately, I don't have that breakdown in front of me, but I believe the bulk of them were housing that we referred, and that's the majority of the complaints that we receive.

Shahana K. Hanif

And then can we follow up with you to get that breakdown after this hearing?

JoAnn Kamuf Ward

Sure.
