Q&A

Chair asks about 94 service contracts, 53 no progress

New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 0:59:09 · 1 min 32 sec

Won says 94 service contracts carry about 3,150 income-based hire goals, and 53 show no progress. She asks whether no hires were made or just not reported. Harry says it is likely a mix of recent contracts, future hiring needs, and incomplete data collection.

Julie Won

Okay.

Julie Won

As of June 30th this year, 94 service contracts carried combined goals of about 3,150 income-based community hires.

Julie Won

53 of them showed no progress data at all.

Julie Won

Does that mean no community hires have been made under those contracts or they have just not been reported?

Julie Won

And how...

Julie Won

Well, you already answered this question of how the vendors on service contracts report the hires to OCH.

Julie Won

So can you just answer, has there been no community hiring under those contracts or have they just not been reported?

Julie Won

So this is for the 94 service contracts carried combined goals of 3,150 income-based community hires and 53 of them do not show any progress.

Douglas Harry

So I...

Douglas Harry

I don't know the exact details of all 94 of those.

Douglas Harry

However, I'll say that it's a mix of both probably, right?

Douglas Harry

Because some of the contracts are very, very recently registered.

Douglas Harry

They might be multi-year, maybe as long as like five-year contracts.

Douglas Harry

And so all of their hiring needs may just not happen yet, right?

Douglas Harry

They might not have a hiring need today, but they might have a hiring need tomorrow.

Douglas Harry

In some cases, we just might not have collected all of that information from them just yet.

Douglas Harry

As I said, we're early on in trying to capture all of that information.

Douglas Harry

So we will continue to work with those providers.

Douglas Harry

And so it will run the gamut in terms of how they're...

Douglas Harry

I guess it could be either or in that case or both.
