I’m Rodrice A. Vincent, and I was abused, harassed, defamed, and slandered by a New York City Housing Authority supervisor, and on or about July 31, 2009, she used her co-workers in official capacity to get me terminated from my provisional position. Based on the same false testimony which I was terminated, N.Y.C.H.A. also tried to prevent me from getting unemployment, a matter which was resolved in my favor. Currently I am being threatened with termination of my tenancy from the New York City Housing Authority; NYCHA is claiming “breach of rules and regulations” and “non-desirability.”
I’m a single mom of 3, I need help and don’t know who to turn to. I don’t owe any money in rent, and I am in good standing with the management in the NYCHA development where I live. I am an upstanding citizen, a college student, and an overall good human being-with several references to testify to that fact. I was a provisional employee, so the abuse that I endured was ignored. I have lived in my apartment for nearly seven years, and have never had a problem with anyone. I filed a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights, but the case was dismissed as my complaint was not under the jurisdiction of human rights law. I filed this case in August of 2009, and it was dismissed in October of 2010. These threats of eviction, and the accusations that led to them, are not only continued harassment from my initial termination, and the incidents which led to it, but also retaliation for filing a complaint with the State Division. P.S. Housing has offered me to make a settlement. If I withdraw my complaints, they will stop accusing me. Sounds more like exploitation, and admitting guilt on their part to me. They presented this settlement agreement to the New York State Division of Human Rights, it was only offered orally to me.
All I want is JUSTICE, and to be left alone. My problem is that I cant fight with a major entity such as NYCHA on my own. I have a substantial paper trail of evidence that can support my innocence. A blind man could see the abuse I’m enduring from a block away; if only he bothered to look… I truly need help. If you cant help me, would you please do me the service of passing this plea to ANYONE that you know who might be able to do so. I so humbly thank you in advance, if even you took the time to read this.
Sincerely,
Rodrice A. Vincent
