Exactly what I have been working on recently. How do you meet work requirement if there is not much work to go around? #OBBBA

This is perhaps the City being careful given the federal headwinds. Our estimates, which countered voucher costs against savings from avoided shelter stays, found a much smaller tab of $3b over 5 years. And that’s not even including the human cost cssny.org/news/entry/to-…
