Care work is a public good and is social infrastructure, and it needs to be valued (and invested in) as an essential public utility. Via Darrick Hamilton at #HumanService Pay Equity Forum #JustPay | Human Services Council of New York Center for NYC Affairs Robin Hood

Pretty much.

Starting the day with a room of friends and partners in this fight for pay equity for frontline #humanservice workers. "City-created pay inequities magnify racial and gender pay disparities." In this case govt is driving the exploitation. W/ #JustPay | Human Services Council of New York @RobinhoodNYC Center for NYC Affairs

Proud to have Greenwich House join LiveOn NY Erik Bottcher Council Member Crystal Hudson Alexa Avilés and more, in standing up to fully fund #olderadult services in NYC. Providing meals, basic health and enrichment for NYers who helped build this City is our duty AND it makes fiscal sense.

Sharing the day w/ 500 partners in the work at 35th Annual Conf on #Aging via LiveOn NY. Keynote panel kicking off w/ some super dynamic colleagues.

So disturbing so see purges to info and scientific research that doctors and professionals rely on to advance our understanding and knowledge, and make us smarter and safer?! Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday nytimes.com/2025/02/02/ups…

More to keep unpacking from these nuanced but important data points. Gotta be a way to give care and not criminalize addiction and MH issues. Involuntary commitments start far more often in NYC's homes than public spaces, data shows gothamist.com/news/involunta… via @gothamist

We can (and must) create a balanced approach to voluntary + involuntary intervention w/ patient rights. But this is NOT leading with the right ratio of investments: $154m for NYPD vs $10m for community MH.

“Sorry Bill, but we just make executive orders now.”

No other biz sector wld put up with this. Late payments to community #nonprofits went from 88.5% in FY23 to 90.7% in FY24. Almost 40% of contracts are over a year late. Time for Human Services Action (HSA) City Hall Contracts Lag Got Worse, Audit Finds thecity.nyc/2025/02/06/non… via katie honan

Enjoying a panel on "Public Sector Leadership and Innovation" at #FCNYInnovationConference2025 And yes, there is a TON of innovaton happening in govt and public sector spaces. Ahmed Tigani, Marco Carrion Jade Bailey, Celestina Leon.

New poll! As NYC heads into a pivotal election year, The People’s Pulse, a new issues-based survey, finds New Yorkers deeply concerned about & directly affected by affordability & public safety, while also believing the city faces a mental health crisis. fiveboro.nyc/peoplespulse/

Understanding risk vs worry. In NYC cars killed 253 people last year, according to analysis by Transportation Alternatives. 203 people fatally shot in NYC during same period. Worried about guns in NYC? Cars were more likely to kill you in 2024. gothamist.com/news/worried-a… via @gothamist

1 of 5 NYers are 60 or older, so getting the day started w/ NYC Department for the Aging Commish and a room full of #aging advocates + community players focused on "Addressing the Needs of Older Adults". w thanks to Trinity Church NYC for hosting.

"Sometimes the best innovations are already part of our heritage, the old becoming new again." Great spotlight on a proven model that deserves investment and replication! via Rich Baum Educational Alliance. America can use a settlement houses renaissance nydailynews.com/2025/03/24/ame…

"As protest slogans go, 'Payment on time, every time!' may sound like a modest demand." But for many of the #nonprofit orgs that NYC hires to provide social services, prompt payment is a distant dream - and no other industry would put up with this!! nytimes.com/2025/05/05/nyr…

Our non-profit organizations are the unsung heroes of this city and yet most struggle to stay afloat as they wait to get paid for work they did years ago. New York City needs to pay their damn bills on time. As your next comptroller, fixing this will be one of my top priorities.
