Scott French explains that not all 62 contracts are exclusively for HRA clients. He outlines various programs and their target populations.

  • Some programs serve HRA clients with engagement requirements, while others are open to a broader low-income population
  • Jobs Plus programs at NYCHA serve low-income individuals, not limited to cash assistance recipients
  • The PACE program is for individuals 18 and older at or below 300% of the federal poverty level

Scott French
0:45:43
They are not all exclusively for HRA clients.
0:45:46
They all can serve them, but there are, right, the career services and leak care contracts are for individuals on cash assistance who have engagement requirements.
0:45:53
There are other programs that we offer that serve HRA clients and other low income populations.
0:45:59
So the jobs plus programs at Nitro is for low income individuals.
0:46:02
You don't have to be on cash assistance to participate in those programs.
0:46:07
The pink program that I mentioned is for individuals eighteen and older at or below 300 percent of the federal poverty level.
0:46:14
Obviously, we focus on catch assistance clients, snap recipients, Medicaid recipients, but it's those programs are not exclusively just for those individuals.
0:46:23
So there is there there are some programs that are for a broader population of Low Income New Yorkers.
