Hanif on MOPED involvement and economic insecurity for people with disabilities
Hanif raises economic insecurity for people with disabilities and asks whether MOPED (Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities) has been involved in green economy planning. Perry says NYC Talent works closely with MOPED across all disability work but is unsure of their specific involvement in the GEEP development. Hanif recommends MOPED be brought in.
I mean, with all the federal cuts, economic insecurity is...
It continues to be on the rise for people with disabilities.
And our...
Our city has opportunities that should be reaching, as is said in the vision of the plan, to people with disabilities.
And then has MOPED, Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, played a role in advising around
job circulation or engagement with people with disabilities.
So our office works very closely with the mayor's office of people with disabilities.
But specifically on green economy.
I would have to get back to you on their specific involvement with the development of the Green Economy Action Plan.
I mean, it's okay if you don't.
I'm just trying to know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm not sure specifically about their involvement with the development of the plan, but we work very closely with them across all of our work tied to people with disabilities.
We also work very closely with the team at EDC, and the city collaborates quite a bit on that.
Yeah, I would recommend that a moped be brought in.
I think this is certainly an area that we should have far more clarity around.
