Settlement houses workers face burnout amid poverty-level wages: Report
A new report from the United Neighborhood Houses, “The Need to Strengthen the Economic Security of the Settlement House Workforce: Voices from the Field,” highlights poverty level wages and increasing levels of burnout occurring within the settlement house workforce, pointing towards issues of systematic government underinvestment in nonprofit human services. Serving nearly 1 million New Yorkers, United Neighborhood Houses represents over 45 settlement houses across New York, advocating for a neighborhood-based approach to community services.
According to the UNH report, while housing settlements provide essential community services, issues of salary parity and employee retention continually impact the quality and reach of their services. UNH also provided a list of suggestions, including the establishment of a living wage floor and equitable pay across private and public sectors, to ensure employees can serve their communities while supporting themselves.

Nonprofit Westchester (NPW) is proud to welcome Goldstein Hall PLLC as a sponsor as well as twelve new nonprofit members: The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS (HGAR), Volunteers of America-Greater New York, Westchester Community for Ethical Culture, The Country Childrens Center, Rx Compassion, Westchester Jewish Coalition for Immigration, The Demitasse Players’, ACDS, The Blue Door Art Center, Ossining Padres Hispanos and Adelphi University.
New York Attorney General Letitia James continued her efforts to stand up for workers’ rights, leading a coalition of 15 attorneys general in filing an amicus brief to defend a New York City statute that requires just cause to fire or reduce the hours of a fast-food chain employee. This law, which took effect in 2021, requires fast-food chain restaurants in New York City to provide a valid reason — such as unsatisfactory performance, misconduct, or a legitimate economic concern — before firing or reducing the hours of an employee. The brief argues that the law passed by New York City does not violate the National Labor Relations Act or the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
