NYC pays $8B a year for nonprofits’ promises — let’s demand results
NY Post
New York City spends $8 billion a year on social services like homeless shelters, addiction programs and senior centers — billions more than it spends on its police department.
The Department of Social Services, for example, cuts sizable checks each year: nearly $660 million to the Institute for Community Living and about $600 million to RiseBoro Community Partnership, for post-shelter affordable housing.
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has funneled more than $1.2 billion to Public Health Solutions.
The Department of Homeless Services just ballooned its deal with the Hotel Association of New York to a staggering $1.9 billion over the next three years.
So what are we getting for all that money?
We have no idea.
