"The promise of universal child care is the promise that New York will be there for families, no matter what. But this can only be achieved through bold action and steadfast commitment to fulfilling the promise for all families." Agreed, @DedeHill8. Universal Child Care is key.
Dede Hill@DedeHill8

TY @timesunion⁩ for the opportunity to make the case for investment in NY’s child care workforce as the next step toward the beautiful promise of universal child care. I truly believe “with bold action and steadfast commitment” we can get there! ⁦ timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

"Finding: #UniversalPreK may not have enough flexibility to match the diverse needs & preferences of #NYC families." CCC data shows just 15% of 4yos enrolled in universal pre-K received full-day, year round care & in some low-income communities it's less than 10%. Read more⬇️⬇️

Policy only goes so far: leaders have to back it up with committment and funding. So what's @NYCMayor doing to #universalprek in the Big Apple? bit.ly/3OFHMDF @CCCNewYork @ehaspel @nycschools @MigrationPolicy @JulieKashen @tcfdotorg @NYCCouncil @AllOurKin

McCarthy suggests the community driven approach taken in these reports can help take broader visions & recommendations on how to drive equity & make them actionable plans at the local level. And we agree. We -can- make a difference to reduce inequitable child welfare involvement.

Author McCarthy writes "These reports did not intentionally focus on the relationship between neighborhood conditions and child welfare involvement, but they begin to capture local stresses and solutions." 3/

As this Imprint article states, we track a number of metrics that tell the experiences of NYC families & children demographically. To understand well-being we must look at a range of indicators to assess equity barriers & draw connections to beneficial investments/policies. 1/

This @TheImprintNews article references the data & research work we do to track indicators of well-being: data.cccnewyork.org. The data we analyze is crucial in showing where investments are needed to support families & children across #NYC. Thanks for the recognition!

OPINION: In her latest Upstream City column, Nora McCarthy writes that "performance metrics are a form of storytelling that can not only track progress but help accelerate it." bit.ly/43R81LD

Thank you @CMPiSanchez @tiffany_caban @CMShekarK @OswaldFeliz @CMSandyNurse @CMSandraUng & other CMs who came out today ahead of the hearing to take a loud stand supporting CityFHEPS housing vouchers. We know what works: housing first 🙌

"We want the vouchers to be more expeditiously accessible to prevent more costly shelter stays--not only costly in fiscal terms but in human terms." Passing the CityFHEPS package is both humane and fiscally responsible. Housing-first approaches are key to ending homelessness.

Expanding housing voucher access would require stronger investment on the administrative side. But investing in staffing for these programs would help spare many families & children the trauma of entering the shelter system & help reduce shelter costs, too. It's the right choice.

The numbers are clear: keeping the status quo will cost the city more than providing aid to NYers. The CityFHEPS package would save NYC at least $7,933 per person per year. Read our full report on how the city can help thousands by saving $730 million: winnyc.org/wp-content/upl…

There's still time to use your voice to make a difference: bit.ly/nychousing23 Shelters are already at capacity, we need to do everything we can to keep families housed & help families out of shelter. 29,000 children is too many to be sleeping in shelter tonight.
CCCNewYork@CCCNewYork

Data from @WINNYC_ORG shows that city housing vouchers (CityFHEPS) cost $72 a night, far cheaper than $188 a night at shelters & over $300 at hotels. While @CSSNYorg data shows expanding CityFHEPS to households facing eviction would save the city $5.6 billion over 5 years.
