NYC to Hire 112 Temp Workers to Track Homeless in Subways as 24-Hour Service Resumes

Council Will Hold Long-Awaited Vote to Raise Value of NYC Housing Vouchers

Lavera Martino and her son Takai stood at a crosswalk and watched as Council Speaker Corey Johnson headed down Second Avenue in East Harlem Tuesday afternoon. Johnson had just left a rally outside a family homeless shelter where he announced the council will vote Thursday on a long-awaited measure to raise the value of city-backed housing subsidies for New Yorkers experiencing homelessness. The current voucher values trail actual market rents, making it hard for families to find a landlord willing to accept the subsidy, known as the CityFHEPS program. “I’m literally in that predicament right now,” said Martino, 26. Her CityFHEPS voucher would cover a maximum rent of $1,323 a month, far less than the price of apartments she has seen. Raising the value, she said, “is the only way people can get out of shelter.”

NYC to Hire 112 Temp Workers to Track Homeless in Subways as 24-Hour Service Resumes

New York City is set to hire more than 100 temporary workers to track homeless people bedding down in the subway system as overnight transit service resumes, officials said Tuesday. A total of 112 people will begin nine-month stints as “street outreach associates” logging observations and reporting the locations of street homeless New Yorkers to the Department of Homeless Services’ (DHS) Joint Command Center, according to a job posting on nyc.gov. DHS now employs about 85 people who oversee and assist with outreach efforts that are mostly performed by nonprofit contractor BRC. The initiative will pay just under $21 an hour to new hires tasked with “daily canvass observations, information gathering, and assessments,” the job listing states. The new staffers will also log “observations of apparent homeless individuals using handheld devices” and perform “low level engagements with homeless clients.”
