I am New York City Council speaker Adrian Adams and I indeed thank my colleagues council member Julie Wan, chair of the committee on contracts, and council member Althea Stevens, chair of committee on children and youth for chairing today's very important hearing on how our city can address the long standing challenges facing nonprofit service providers that threaten their survival and put the critical human services New Yorkers that rely on at risk.
