The New York City Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) promotes the well- being of immigrant communities by recommending policies and programs that facilitate the successful integration of immigrant New Yorkers into the civic, economic, and cultural life of the City. MOIA is one of the lead agencies for IDNYC, New York City’s successful municipal ID program, and spearheaded ActionNYC, a community-based program providing immigration legal services citywide, along with other notable initiatives such as the national Cities for Action coalition. The work of the office cuts across a broad range of issues – from immigration policy to health equity to economic justice to language access – and MOIA works closely with sister cities across the country to promote immigrant inclusion and integration.

The Policy Analyst will serve as a member of MOIA’s Policy team, which leads the office’s legislative work at the federal, state, and local levels; conducts original research; develops and implements policy and programmatic proposals; and engages in advocacy in support of New York City immigrants.
