The administrator from the NYC Department of Homeless Services does not have data breaking down the number of fair hearings held or their outcomes specifically for families with children clients who were denied services.

  • The department receives fair hearing data from the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), but it is not disaggregated by client type.
  • The administrator states she does not have the family with children segment of the fair hearing information.
  • The administrator says she does not know the total number of fair hearings held in general.

And I'll just go through this really quickly because I know we wanna get you out of here, but past clients, they can request a fair hearing if they feel that they've been unfairly denied.
1:44:01
How many fear hearing is withheld in 23 if year 2324.
1:44:04
And what were the outcomes of these hearings?

So one one of the things is that we get our results from OTDA for fear hearings unfortunately, they don't break it out by family to children, single adults or adult families.
1:44:19
I don't have family to children by itself.
1:44:21
And I don't know if I could pass that out because it's come from OTDA.
1:44:25
So I don't have families with children for hearing information.
1:44:29
Mhmm.
1:44:30
Because OTDA just sends us Oh, it's the state does offer your hearings.
1:44:34
Uh-huh.
1:44:35
So I don't have the family of children for hearing results.

1:44:38
So you you know the amount of hearings were held, but you don't you can't make the distinction of what was it?
Joslyn Carter
1:44:43
For whose families which ones are families or children?
Diana I. Ayala
1:44:46
Alright.
1:44:46
Do you know how many fair hearings were held in general?
Joslyn Carter
1:44:49

Diana I. Ayala
