New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 0:51:51 · 27 sec

Won notes the budget funds 16 positions but OCH has eight people, implying a 50% vacancy rate. Harry says some headcount is at other agencies supporting community hiring.

Julie Won

And are there any key positions that have been difficult to fill?

Julie Won

Is there any vacancy?

Julie Won

Because we're supposed to have 16 positions, and you're saying that there's eight.

Julie Won

So are you vacant for six positions?

Julie Won

I mean, for more than six positions?

Julie Won

So the 1.7 million was for 16 positions within OCH.

Julie Won

You have eight people.

Julie Won

That means that you have vacancy of 50%.

Julie Won

Correct?
