As part of this effort, the CFE Fund announced the selection of 31 city and county governments to launch a new Financial Navigator initiative, which will provide their residents one-on-one remote sessions to help navigate the financial impact of COVID-19 through access to local, state, and federal resources. In addition, the CFE Fund announced an expansion of its Financial Empowerment Center (FEC) initiative, which offers professional, data-driven one-on-one financial counseling as a public service, funding additional counselors in FEC partner cities, as well as pivoting its national FEC infrastructure to accommodate remote services. These new and enhanced financial navigation and counseling services come in the face of increasing individual and family, with some FEC cities already experiencing as much as a 40% increase in demand for financial counseling services.
  • Westchester County and New Rochelle Background

    Westchester County and New Rochelle Background

    5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS New Rochelle’s location on Westchester’s Long Island Sound shore places it within one of the state’s wealthiest counties. According to 1995 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, Westchester has New York’s fourth- highest median income, at $53,043. Only Putnam, Nassau, and Rockland, also New York City suburbs, and all much smaller in size than Westchester’s 443 square miles, has a greater median income. 5.1.1 WESTCHESTER COUNTY: HISTORY As shown in the map at left, Westchester County borders, on its south, the New York City borough of the Bronx. According to historian Frank E. Sanchis, this location at New York City’s doorstep has “always put it in the center of activity relative to the balance of the nation.” Indeed, Westchester’s development has historically been fueled by its proximity to what has been, since 1820, America’s largest city. Before the days of railroads or highways, Westchester had the trade routes of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. In the 18th century, the primitive post roads to Albany and Boston were cut through Westchester’s rolling, wooded hills. When New York City’s population boomed after the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, Westchester furnished many of the city’s raw and finished goods. Iron foundries were located throughout the county, and Westchester’s numerous brickyards and marble quarries provided the materials for the thousands of row houses and monumental new institutional buildings spreading across Manhattan. When Newgate Prison in Greenwich Village was no longer adequate, it was replaced in 1828 by Sing Sing, “up the river” in Westchester County.

Being able to vote and have that vote counted are essential to maintaining and preserving our democracy. Voting stands as one of the most important rights and responsibilities of U.S. citizens. The news of recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service’s delivery process, coupled with the Administration’s decision to withhold funding, is alarming and should be of grave concern to us all, particularly with the General Election only months away. While the Postmaster General’s actions to reverse these policies earlier this week were a positive step, we must be vigilant and relentless when it comes to a fair election, especially during these challenging times. The spread of the Coronavirus has already created challenges and uncertainty around our local, state and national electoral processes. We cannot afford further disruption. At our Annual Meeting in June, the U.S. Conference of Mayors passed two critical resolutions supporting safe and accessible elections and voting by mail.
