Council Member Farah N. Louis inquires about the allocation of 46 new positions in DYCD's headcount expansion for FY 2026, particularly if any will be dedicated to supporting inter-agency coordination for CBO spaces.

  • First Deputy Commissioner Alan Cheng clarifies that the new positions are not related to after-school program expansion
  • The new positions are tied to the expansion of RHY (Runaway and Homeless Youth) beds and the fatherhood program
  • The expansion does not include positions for Cornerstone and Compass programs

Yeah, just to clarify the new positions that are currently in the budget are not related to the expansion of the after school programs.

They are actually tied to the expansion of RHY beds as well as the fatherhood program.
