Chair asks how many community hires and breakdown
Won asks how many New Yorkers have been hired as community hires since January 2025, including residence-based hires on construction and building service contracts and income-based hires on service contracts. Harry says about 1,200 total, with roughly 1,136 income-based and about 70 residence-based.
Okay, to jump right in, for community hiring goals, OCH's rules took effect in January 2025, and as of January 2026, 179 registered city contracts worth about $2.96 billion.
Carried community hiring goals.
OCHS quarterly reports do not state how many people have been hired under any of them.
So could you please respond by answering how many New Yorkers have been hired as community hires since January 2025 across all contracts, and how many were residence-based community hires
on construction and building service contracts, and how many were income-based community hires on service contracts?
So to date, based on our public reports, we have about 1,200 community hires have been hired to date, and we're really proud of the work that has been done.
Many of these contracts that we've reported on so far are early on in their contract term, so we anticipate that that number continues to grow.
And also, as we...
As you mentioned, Chair, the contracts that we published are just a subset of all the contracts that have registered to date.
We will continue to publish the quarterly reports that will have even more contracts in it.
Most of the contracts, or sorry, the hires have been the income-based community hires.
That's about a little over 1,100 or 1,136, and almost 70.
residence-based community hires have been hired based on the data we have available today.
