Report: New Yorkers are waiting longer for cash assistance
New York City is still struggling to promptly process New Yorkers’ applications for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and cash assistance benefits – a pervasive, ongoing problem that’s left thousands of New Yorkers struggling to pay for food and other purchases. While SNAP application timeliness remained steady – albeit lower than previous fiscal years – cash assistance timeliness rates declined nearly 41 percentage points in the first four months of the fiscal year compared to the same period in fiscal year 2023, according to the Preliminary Mayor’s Management report.
Evaluating how New York City agencies are performing is complicated, but the preliminary report does provide important early insight into over 2,000 different performance indicators ranging from fire alarm inspections, city jail admissions, staffing levels, affordable housing construction, crime and school attendance. New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ office releases the full version of the report each fall. The latest 400+ page report dropped Tuesday afternoon. Read more here. – Sahalie Donaldson |
