Show / Hide : Description Description

The New York City Human Resources Administration Department of Social Services/Human Resources Administration (DSS/HRA), in partnership with the NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA), the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity) and NYC Young Men’s Initiative (YMI), is pleased to announce a strategic update to our Jobs-Plus program. We are preparing to release a Request for Proposals (RFP) in 2027 for an enhanced program model that will deepen our commitment to helping New Yorkers achieve financial independence and stability. We invite you to review our proposed improvements and provide your valuable feedback to shape this vital initiative. Since its launch in 2013, the Jobs-Plus program has successfully provided comprehensive support to tens of thousands of residents in New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments. With the recent discontinuation of the Earned Income Disallowance (EID) rent incentive by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), we have undertaken a comprehensive strategic review to reimagine Jobs-Plus. The enhanced Jobs-Plus model will build on the program's successful foundation, retaining the core components of comprehensive employment services, financial incentives and counseling, community support, and mental health support while adapting to current social and economic realities. The enhanced model will: Expand our reach: We will grow from serving 40 NYCHA developments to 62, broadening our impact and engaging new communities across the city’s five (5) boroughs. Broaden our target population: While maintaining a strong focus on NYCHA residents, our new model will also serve a portion of eligible non-NYCHA residents from adjacent communities within specific zip codes in service areas who are not residents of targeted developments. Align with labor market demands: Sites will transition to a demand-driven approach, focusing on training and placing residents in growing sectors with accessible entry-level positions. Enhance mental health support: Building on our existing mental health services, we will adopt a more holistic approach to better address the diverse barriers to employment faced by participants. This concept paper, which details these proposed improvements, is a direct result of initial stakeholder feedback. Your continued insights will be essential in developing a new model that delivers the most effective and enhanced services possible. We encourage you to review the concept paper and provide innovative program approaches that can effectively respond to the specific challenges faced by the program's target population.
