Harvey D. Epstein

I would encourage you to reach out to us.

Harvey D. Epstein

Like, I mean, you know, Councilman Juan, she knows the groups in her district.

Harvey D. Epstein

I can tell you I don't hear Henry Street, Grand Street Settlement, Asian Americans for Equality.

Harvey D. Epstein

University Settlement.

Harvey D. Epstein

These are settlement houses just to operate in my district that have a big, wide, you know, swath of contact to people.

Harvey D. Epstein

They have, like I mentioned, we have a lower side employment network.

Harvey D. Epstein

We have the Jobs Plus training program.

Harvey D. Epstein

So we have things that exist, there's structures that exist that I think would be really helpful.

Harvey D. Epstein

So if you reach out to our offices, you can get that information.

Harvey D. Epstein

And you can reach out to our comms people and be like, hey, put this in your e-blast so people know that we exist.

Harvey D. Epstein

We want to be able to reach out to people.
