The Department for the Aging Personnel Reports give a complete description of the service Department of Buildings and the address of the local service district headquarters. The Department of Cultural Affairs contract pages provide the names and addresses of vendors, and Department of Small Business Services sometimes the location where the service is provided. Department of Environmental Protection The District Resource Statement is useful to the community Fire Department boards at all stages of the budget participation process. Department of Health & Mental Hygiene Community boards can use the DRS to monitor service delivery Department of Housing Preservation & Development throughout the year. It provides a common data base which the Human Resources Administration agencies and community boards can use to discuss service Libraries delivery and to formulate specific budget requests. The Department of Parks and Recreation Performance Reports can help the boards assess the quality of Police Department the service in relation to the resources which are deployed in or Department of Sanitation budgeted for the community district. By comparing this year's Department of Transportation DRS with previous editions, community boards can also use the DRS to analyze trends in funding levels, resource allocation, and Department of Youth and Community Development service delivery. Using the Mayor's Management Report, boards are able to compare service performance indicators in their district with citywide findings. Caution must be used in interpreting the information contained in this document. Agencies often need to move personnel or equipment from one district to another or employ seasonal workers depending on the time of the year. These changes are not reflected in the DRS. A reduction in staffing levels does not necessarily signal a corresponding reduction in services. Where necessary agencies provide explanatory footnotes. Also, Financial Plan Savings are not reflected in the local district reports because these amounts are budgeted at the Unit of Appropriation level. It is not possible to predict the impact of financial savings on an individual service district level. District Resource Statement Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) Fiscal and Service Report for Fiscal Year 2013 Agency Description The Department of Youth and Community Development Created in 1996, the Department of Youth and Community Development was formed to provide the City of New York with quality and efficient youth and community programs. DYCD provides services to elementary, middle and high school youth as well as adults, families and seniors. The agency: Administers available city, state, and federal funds to youth and community programs, Develops, coordinates, and implements youth programs and activities, Serves as the designated Community Action Agency in the City of New York for administration of Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds to address the conditions of poverty, Oversees all youth employment programming and administers Workforce Investment Act funded youth employment services, Promotes public awareness of services and resources available to youth and communities, Awards contracts to a broad network of community-based organizations that provide quality programs and services that adhere to the highest standards and are committed to sound fiscal management, Partners with leadership in the corporate and non-profit sectors, and Functions as the lead agency for the Interagency Coordinating Council on Youth. DYCD funds a wide range of innovative, practical and quality programs that positively impact youth and communities, including: After-school programs, including the nationally known Beacon programs; Out-of-School Time, the largest municipally funded after-school initiative in the country; and the Cornerstone Initiative in public housing developments; Youth workforce development programs including the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP), Young Adult Internship Program (YAIP), Out-of-School Youth Program (OSY), and In School Youth Program (ISY); Runaway and homeless youth outreach and shelters; Family support services, including the Fatherhood Initiative; Literacy programs; Immigrant services programs; and Technical assistance and capacity building for community based organizations. DYCD is committed to building and expanding on partnerships that generate innovative and practical programs for youth, their families, and communities. 1 DYCD Highlights DYCD has demonstrated its commitment to innovation and to improving program quality with a variety of special events and program enhancements, despite the challenges of the current economic situation and the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. These activities are consistent with efforts to provide holistic and structured theme-based activities, trips, and recreational services to young people. Additionally, they help lay the groundwork for expansion when the City’s economy improves. NYC Summer Quest NYC Summer Quest, a pilot initiative aimed at reducing summer learning loss developed jointly by DYCD, DOE, and the Fund for Public Schools, reached about 1,800 students in its second year. The program, located at 11 sites in the South Bronx, brings together academic and enrichment activities through partnerships between public schools and community-based organizations that plan and deliver a five-week, full day curriculum intended to be fun, engaging, and rigorous. The effort seeks to reduce summer learning loss of math and literacy skills and bridges the best of academic preparation with science, technology, engineering, art, and math enrichment activities and physical exercises. LGBTQ Youth In March 2013, DYCD commissioned a report entitled Experiences of LGBTQ Formerly Homeless Adults: Focus Group Report from Strength in Numbers Consulting Group as part of the Family Therapy Intervention Pilot program launched in July 2011. In order to help DYCD refine services for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth, the focus group interviewed adults who had run away from home as teenagers and then later reconnected with their families about the reasons they left home, whether social services helped them, and how they came to reunite with their families. The report also included ten recommendations

  • NEWS RELEASE Henry Street Settlement Responds to the COVID
    NEWS RELEASE Henry Street Settlement Responds to the COVID-19 Outbreak March 19, 2020 Contact: Barbara Kancelbaum, 718-744-5310 New York, N.Y. -- Henry Street Settlement is safely providing essential services to our neighbors on the Lower East Side and throughout New York City to help everyone remain healthy and access the resources they need to get through the COVID-19 outbreak. Because this crisis poses a particular threat to the many low-income New Yorkers whom Henry Street serves, the Settlement is actively providing food, connections to needed benefits, crucial information to stay safe, and emotional support. Details follow below. Henry Street’s core services never close. Our four transitional housing residences, two supportive housing buildings, Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Consultation Center are continuing to provide essential services to our residents and participants, particularly those who are high risk. We have suspended services that bring large groups of people together and moved others online, from ESOL classes to instrumental music lessons. “Henry Street Settlement has been opening doors, listening to the needs of our community, and responding promptly and effectively for 127 years,” said David Garza, president and CEO. “From the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been focusing on the health and safety of the community we serve, the protection and support of the team at Henry Street, and the continuity of our services and operations. Because of our long-standing role in caring for the most vulnerable New Yorkers, we now find ourselves at the epicenter of providing vital services, safety, and stability to our residents, clients, and participants at this critical time.

  • Tobias Armborst, Georgeen Theodore, and Daniel D'oca Of
    NORCs IN NEW YORK Tobias armborsT, GeorGeen Theodore, and daniel d’oCa of inTerboro ParTners Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/thld_a_00145 by guest on 23 September 2021 INTERBORO PARTNERS NORC is a funny word, but we didn’t make it up. On the contrary, the word is recognized by the local, state, and federal government, and has been in use since 1986. Actually, NORC is an acronym. It stands for “Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.” Basically, a NORC is a place (a building, a development, a neighborhood) with a significant elderly population that wasn’t purpose-built as a senior community. What counts as a “significant elderly population” varies from place to place (and from one level of government to the next), but that’s the basic definition. NORCs are important because once a community meets the criteria, it becomes eligible for local, state, and federal funds to retroactively provide that community with the support services elderly populations need (for example, case management and social work services, health care management and prevention programs, education, socialization, and recreational activities, and volunteer opportunities for program participants and the community). As it happens, there are 27 NORCs in New York City, located in four boroughs. NORCs are a national—even international— phenomenon, but the NORC movement began right here in New York City, when a consortium of UJA-Federation agencies THRESHOLDS 40 established the Penn South Program for Seniors in 1986. Let us say a few words about why we’re so interested in NORCs: First of all, the “naturally occurring” part is intriguing.

  • Jersey City Police Officers Hazecamp and Wolfe Pulled Bobby Over, Allegedly for Running a Stop Sign
    Stolen Lives: Killed by Law Enforcement NEW JERSEY Bobby Rodriguez 24 — July 19, 1995. Jersey City: Jersey City police officers Hazecamp and Wolfe pulled Bobby over, allegedly for running a stop sign. Police claim that the unarmed Rodriguez then jumped out of his van and ran into a vacant lot. The officers gave chase. Wolfe said he scuffled with Rodriguez and lost control of his weapon. Wolfe’s gun went off three times. Hazecamp then shot Bobby four times, and he died on the spot. The two cops each suffered a minor wound. Witnesses contradicted the police account. Several people who ran to the vacant lot when they heard the shots arrived to see Bobby lying face down in a pool of blood, with the cops removing handcuffs from behind his back. The cops deny this, but cannot explain why he would have fled and braved police gunfire over a traffic violation. As it turned out, Bobby had been driving home to pick up his companion to take him to work. His companion was Jose Torres, the prisoner being transported in the back of Chiusolo’s car the night that Maximino Cintron was killed. Jose Torres told the press that ever since he testified to the grand jury in 1991, Jersey City police had continually harassed him and Bobby Rodriguez. Julio Tarquino 22 Bolivian May 7, 1995. Jersey City: Julio, his fiancée, and a friend went to a gas station convenience store to buy some food around 3:30 a.m. Two white men began taunting and insulting them and Julio and his friends headed to their car to leave.
