It's not fine. Spoke with one nonprofit last week who had to stagger payroll *before Thanksgiving* because they didn't have enough cash to pay their staff on time. There's answers- hire more staff at city agencies to process contracts- but no political will.
Nonprofit officials say their payment situation on city contracts is dire, the worst it’s ever been. The city says it’s fine.

"It is easy to see how mothers are affected by the prohibitively expensive costs of child care, but perhaps less so to understand it as a communal crisis."

Invest more into the resources that help youth to decrease youth incarceration. By not cutting programs that offer mentorship, education, and mental health support, we can break this cycle and empower our youth to thrive. Let’s prioritize their well-being over punitive measures.
Thank you to @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins for your support and leadership to fund the Settlement House Program at $5 million in the Assembly and Senate one-house budgets!
The Senate's One-House Budget funded the Settlement House Program at $5 million for the first time ever! Many thanks to @BrianKavanaghNY for your strong support of settlement houses!
Exciting news! The Settlement House Program was funded in the Assembly's One-House Budget at $5 million! This is a much needed increase that will help settlement houses statewide. Thank you @LindaBRosenthal for your leadership and advocacy.
Yikes!
One non-profit official told THE CITY their group is owed more than $8 million in backlogged bills submitted before the system migration and have since been unable to bill for approximately $18 million.

To have a thriving economy that allows families to live and work in New York, our city needs accessible, high-quality child care. A new report out today from @5boroinstitute lays out a roadmap to get us there. https://t.co/FNKjDfyCC7
The data is clear: working families are struggling with housing + food insecurity, but our Working Families Tax Credit can help them afford essentials and cut child poverty.
Thanks to @UNHNY and @EdAlliance for their powerful new report.

Child care is essential.
@CMKevinCRiley and I are not going to stop banging on the drum demanding that we move Universal Child Care forward - it is critical to economic survival. #UCCinNYC
We are thrilled to be here with @DCCNYINC and @BLACaucusNYC to call for salary parity for the early childhood education workforce. The key to having a quality child care system is the staff who support our city’s children. #salaryparitynow
.@UNHNY is in Brooklyn right now urging court officials to protect & reinstate #LocalLaw11 ! This will give nearly a million NYers a voice in the issues we all care about.
We need more participation in our democracy in NYC, not less. ✅ #OCOV#OurCityOurVote
We shouldn’t have to fight to ensure that the City’s contracts for human services pay a living wage to the women of color who do this critical work.
I want to be clear: @NYCCouncil will always stand up for non-profit workers.
#JustPay
@NYCMayor Don't Forget About Our Human Services Workers!
A huge thank you to @NYCSpeakerAdams for joining us this morning at our #JustPay rally at City Hall! We appreciate your support!
Mental health affects each of us, and our city is facing a crisis that has existed long before the pandemic. Today, I joined @NYCSpeakerAdams, @KeithPowersNYC, & @NYCCouncil colleagues to unveil our plan to address years of inequity across NYC’s mental health infrastructure.
