  • NYCSSS) Be Included in the Upcoming FY 2021 Budget
    We write to urge that full funding for New York City Schools Support Service (NYCSSS) be included in the upcoming FY 2021 budget. NYCSSS employs 6,400 cleaners and handypersons represented by SEIU 32BJ. These hardworking men and women work under a contract with the Department of Education to provide school facility cleaning and maintenance services. Since the outset of the COVID-19 crisis, they have been on the front lines sanitizing our schools—putting themselves at risk in order to keep students and staff healthy. As we determine our budget for next year, spending to ensure that NYC’s public school buildings are clean and safe should be a top priority. Despite the current switch to remote learning, many school buildings are still being utilized to provide care and meals for children of essential workers. Other school sites also need deep cleaning and maintenance that can only done when they are not in regular use. And, when our schools re-open more broadly for in-person instruction, enhanced cleaning will be required to create a safe environment. To meet these needs, NYCSSS must be operating at full capacity, not facing cuts in hours and positions. Funding for NYCSSS represents a small portion of DOE’s annual spending. However, it has an outsized impact on the welfare of our school community. This includes not only kids and teachers, but also NYCSSS workers themselves. A typical school cleaner supporting a household of three earns less than 60% of AMI in wages, and many live in the low-income communities most impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

  • New York City Council
    THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK Hon. Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor The State of New York Executive Chamber New York State Capitol Albany, New York 12224 Dear Governor Cuomo: We write to you as duly elected members of the New York City Council, with regard to the alarming magnitude of homelessness throughout New York City and across our state, and the attendant human and financial costs this growing crisis has on our communities. New York City has looked to solve this problem by increasing the number of shelters throughout our communities. While shelters are an important piece of addressing this crisis, they are meant to be a temporary measure, not a long-term solution. The only real way to address this crisis is through a statewide rental supplement. We call on you to initiate a new program to stem the tide of displacement that is driving large numbers of families and individuals into homelessness every day. Specifically, we call on you to establish the Home Stability Support (HSS) program. HSS will be a new statewide, State and Federal-funded rent supplement program to bridge the difference between public assistance shelter allowances and 85 percent of Federal Fair Market Rents and also address the high costs of heating when borne by families. HSS is designed to assist: ● Each family or individual facing a loss of housing due to formal or informal eviction, domestic violence, or hazardous conditions; ● Those who are already homeless and living doubled-up, in shelters, or living on the street. This is the most cost-effective solution for preventing homelessness and it requires Executive action to replace the current patchwork of local programs that reach only a small fraction of those in need.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Marykate Cary [UNH] [email protected] (212) 784-5708 Rush Perez [NYIC] [email protected] (415) 608-6445 Our City, Our Vote Campaign Launches to Expand the Right to Vote in NYC ​ ​ Municipal Elections United Neighborhood Houses, the New York Immigration Coalition, and partners announce support for legislation to expand and protect municipal voting rights NEW YORK – January 23, 2020 – A citywide coalition of 45 policy and immigrant rights organizations led by United Neighborhood Houses (UNH) and the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) announced ​ ​ today during a rally at City Hall the launch of Our City, Our Vote, a campaign to expand the right to vote ​ ​ in municipal elections to New York residents who are legal permanent residents or have a work authorization. Currently, nearly one million New York City residents cannot vote in local elections due to ​ ​ their citizenship status, despite paying taxes and being invested in and contributing to the city. “New York City leads the country in promoting the inclusion and empowerment of immigrants, but too many New Yorkers still don’t have a say in the officials that represent them and the policies that impact their families and communities,” said Susan Stamler, executive director of UNH. “Settlement houses ​ ​ know firsthand that ensuring neighborhoods are politically engaged results in better public policies that make our city stronger. We are proud to be a part of this campaign and call on the City Council to pass this legislation.” Introduced by Council Members Ydanis Rodriguez, Carlos Menchaca, Daniel Dromm, Margaret S. Chin, I. Daneek Miller, Fernando Cabrera, with support from 20 other Council Members and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, this legislation would allow these New Yorkers to participate in municipal elections for local officials, such as City Council Members, Mayor, Public Advocate, and Comptroller, as well as ballot initiatives.
