Day 476 since Zohran Mamdani's CityFHEPS expansion commitment and day 62 since the appeal was filed. People are still going through the same CityFHEPS process as before, and the expansion is still something families are waiting to see take shape with @ZohranKMamdani.

It is now day 475 since @ZohranKMamdani’s CityFHEPS expansion pledge, and day 61 since the appeal filing. Continued procedural progress may ease bottlenecks, but the underlying policy goal remains unfulfilled without full expansion. #CityFHEPSNOW

Supporters say expanding the state’s new Housing Access Voucher Program, which helps low-income New Yorkers at risk of homelessness afford a place to live, could bridge the gap for 5,500 city households whose federal rent assistance expires this year. citylimits.org/state-lawmaker…

Efficiency gains matter, but families still cannot access housing support that has not been fully implemented. Today is day 473 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS and day 59 since the appeal seeking to block the law from taking effect. #KeepYourPromise

Thank you so much for your ongoing support of Win families! 🧡

Today marks day 472 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged while campaigning to expand CityFHEPS and day 58 since the appeal was filed. Administrative improvements can reduce friction in the system, but they don’t replace full delivery of the CityFHEPS expansion.

“The program’s working because people are getting out of shelters. So to not continue that first-in-decades positive momentum with an expansion just doesn’t make any sense to me.” @ChrisCQuinn said.

Win CEO @ChrisCQuinn spoke with @CityLimitsNews about why expanding CityFHEPS matters for NYC families experiencing homelessness. Housing vouchers help keep families housed, prevent evictions, & create pathways to stability. citylimits.org/rental-voucher…

Today is day 471 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS & day 57 since the City moved to delay the law’s rollout through the courts. Every day of delay means fewer available exits from shelter into stable housing. New Yorkers are still waiting. #CityFHEPSNOW

Every student deserves stable housing and the support needed to succeed. That means placing families closer to schools, expanding reliable transportation, increasing school and shelter-based support staff, and ensuring access to permanent housing.

As @ChrisCQuinn shared, transportation gaps, shelter placements far from schools, & limited support make attendance a struggle for too many children. The impact is clear: 75% of students living in shelters lack reading proficiency, and more than one-third do not graduate on time.

Programs that support students experiencing homelessness matter, but they cannot succeed without addressing root causes. In NYC alone, more than 154,000 students experienced homelessness last school year, highlighting the urgent need for lasting solutions. invisiblepeople.tv/when-home-isnt…

Shelter stays continue while the CityFHEPS expansion remains tied up instead of fully carried out. Today marks day 470 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand and implement CityFHEPS and day 56 since the appeal seeking to block the law from taking effect. #CityFHEPSNOW

Administrative improvements can speed up parts of the process, but they don’t replace the need to fully implement the CityFHEPS expansion. Today is day 469 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS and day 55 since the City appealed to block the law from taking effect.

Over the weekend, I had the great honor of receiving the @uft John Dewey Award for my work @winnyc_org .This award has been given to the likes of Bayard Rustin & Hillary Clinton - to say I am honored & humbled is an understatement!

Delays in implementing the CityFHEPS expansion translate into longer shelter stays and fewer paths to housing for families. It has now been 468 days since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS and 54 days since the City moved to halt implementation of the law. #CityFHEPSNOW

City Hall says it wants to move families into housing faster. But today marks day 467 since @ZohranKMamdani pledged to expand CityFHEPS, and day 53 since the appeal seeking to block the law from taking effect. The City must fully deliver the expansion families were promised.

Pay equity is essential to building a stable, effective human services system for NYC. We’re grateful to the bill’s sponsors in the New York City Council for advancing this important legislation and recognizing that equal work deserves equal pay. #JUSTPAY

Int 0452 would begin to close that gap by creating a wage alignment system tied to comparable City job titles, with updates for cost of living and collective bargaining over time.

Yesterday, Win’s Policy & Advocacy team joined 100+ organizations and 2,000 human services workers at the @HSC_NY rally in support of Int 0452, landmark wage equity legislation in the @NYCCouncil.
