      Joe Rosenberg, representing Catholic charities, expresses support for nonprofit human service providers and the need for contract reform. He highlights the critical role of nonprofits in serving New Yorkers' basic needs and the challenges they face due to delayed contract payments from the city.

      • Emphasizes the importance of the nonprofit sector as first responders to various crises
      • Supports all three bills on the agenda, particularly Intro 1247, which would require immediate payment of 80% of awarded contracts upon registration
      • Stresses that prompt payment is crucial for nonprofits to continue providing services, especially in light of federal budget cuts
