Q&A

Brewer asks DOP to report assessment needs for budget; Eusebio agrees to collaborate

New York City Council · Oct 26, 2026 · starts 1:18:36 · 49 sec

Brewer asks DOP to let the chair know what it needs after reassessing programs so the council can address gaps in budget season. Eusebio says DOP will come back for support and stresses collective work through the NEON model.

Gale A. Brewer

Okay.

Gale A. Brewer

And the Department of Education, or whatever the hell it's called, New York City Public Schools, I hate that name.

Gale A. Brewer

Because it's a noun.

Gale A. Brewer

It makes no sense to me.

Gale A. Brewer

But anyway, do they help in some way with some of the programs that are for older students?

Gale A. Brewer

Or even younger students?

Robert Eusebio

So from our history working with probation, we had a close relation with DOE.

Robert Eusebio

And we're going back to the roots.

Robert Eusebio

Because we actually had classrooms in some of our NEON sites.

Robert Eusebio

That's a way how we supported not just people on probation, but also community members at large across the city.

Robert Eusebio

So we are very much looking at assessing, as Commissioner indicated, but also looking at other things that are innovative, from AI to things that are more attractive to the people that we serve.

Gale A. Brewer

And what about housing?
