City Council Probes DYCD on Hiring, Summer Programs, and Adult Literacy


On May 10, the New York City Council Committees on Finance and Youth Services held a joint hearing on the proposed budget for the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY 2024). The City’s Executive Financial Plan, released late last month, allocates $1.15 billion for the agency, a substantial increase from the $943 million proposed in the Preliminary Financial Plan, released in January.  Almost all of that growth, however, is the result of the Adams administration’s decision to shift the Office of Neighborhood Safety, previously a unit of the Mayor’s Office of Criminal Justice, into DYCD.


Finance Chair Brannan and and Youth Services Chair Stevens speak with Commissioner Howard and his team (2 hours 20 minutes into the recorded hearing)  

In response to the administration’s Preliminary Plan, City Council flagged a number of items missing that it wished to see DYCD fund. These included providing MetroCards for all Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) participants (at a cost of $11 million), expansion of the Work Learn & Grow program from 2,000 to 5,000 slots ($22 million), baselining of funds for adult literacy programs ($6.7 million), and expansion of programs serving Runaway and Homeless Youth ($6.3 million). To the evident frustration of Youth Services Committee Chair Althea Stevens and her colleagues, the revised Executive budget did not include any of these items.

DYCD Commissioner Keith Howard and his team offered updates regarding DYCD’s two most prominent summer programs. As SYEP prepares to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2023, the program received 173,730 applications, believed to be a record. More than 47,000 participants already have been enrolled, nearly twice the number at this time last year, and SYEP is on course to serve 100,000 participants. The program additionally has secured 8,137 commitments from employer sites—most of which will host multiple participants—including 64 from City agencies. 

Council questioning of DYCD began with Finance Chair Justin Brannan, who pushed DYCD on the agency’s ongoing high vacancy rate. Chair Brannan noted that DYCD’s authorized headcount for Fiscal Year 2023, which concludes on June 30, is 517, and that the agency is well short of that number. Of particular concern is the agency’s procurement capacity, where DYCD has six vacancies (out of a total headcount of approximately 40) but is “aggressively looking to hire.”

Chair Stevens and others expressed concern about DYCD’s Adult Literacy programs. Current contracts pay providers between $850 and $950 per participant, or roughly a third of the $2,700 per participant that Council members cited as necessary to fully serve students. In a concept paper released last October to inform new Requests for Proposals, DYCD indicated that the next set of contracts would raise the price per participant to $1,300. While acknowledging the increase, Council pushed the agency to further expand resources, with Council Member Gale Brewer noting that the City serves only about 4 percent of the citywide need for basic education services.

A full recording of the hearing is available on the Council's page.

[Action Alert] Day Without Services



On Thursday, May 25th, the Human Services Council will hold a “Day Without Human Services.” This will be a full day of pausing services to draw attention to the City’s underpayment of human services workers and to show what would happen to our communities without human services, which is the path the sector is headed without critical investment. NYCETC fully supports HSC and the #JustPay campaign. While we worry that any day without our services will hurt, we know that without an investment in our workforce today, we won't be able to meet the needs of New Yorkers tomorrow. 

Please consider taking part in the pause to get this message across - Make the 6.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in the final City budget for the human services workforce now

Get Involved
— If you would like your organization to participate in "Day Without Human Services" in any capacity, visit: https://www.justpayny.org/action-alerts
— If you are a worker or supporter who would like to attend the May 25th rally, sign up here.

[NYCETC Speaks] NYC's True Cost of Living Report


A recent amNewYork Metro feature by Sarah Belle Lin "Half of NYC’s working households can’t afford basic needs: Here’s what several Bronx nonprofits have to say about it" included NYCETC CEO Gregory J Morris and NYCETC members Christina Hanson (Part of the Solution), Daniel Diaz (East Side House Settlement), Andre White (Phipps Neighborhoods), and John Weed (BronxWorks) who provided details on their programs in the Bronx, reactions to the recent The True Cost of Living study, and offered solutions to alleviate long-standing inequities in New York City. 

"If we’re going to think about quality jobs, we’re going to have to think about wages and we’re gonna have to think about what financial security looks like," said Morris. "We have to really try to understand these numbers in a city that is increasingly unaffordable to a lot of folks... We all need to be clear from the starting point: that inequity is historic, systemic... There are industries that are growing in the city right now that we are not ready for because of so many disconnections and fragmentation in our economic development and workforce development systems.”

What are your thoughts on The True Cost of Living Report?

Released last month, The NYC True Cost of Living report measures how much income is needed to meet families’ basic necessities, without any public or private assistance. Prepared by the Center for Women’s Welfare for The Fund for the City of New York & United Way of New York City, NYCETC was proud to serve as a partner in development of this report.

The importance of reports like The True Cost of Living, Making New York Work for Everyone, or Rebuild, Renew, Reinvent: A Blueprint for New York City's Economic Recovery is not the media hits that follow, it's the commitments we make to prioritize and invest in the most promising strategies and solutions. In advance of the release of The True Cost of Living recommendations, please share your thoughts about what YOU think will help make this City affordable to all.
