Each week DVS shares a brief update about how our administration is getting stuff done for New Yorkers.
Our administration works every day to create a more affordable city for working-class New Yorkers. By connecting people to city, state, and federal programs and benefits, we have already helped put over $30 billion back into the pockets of New Yorkers — including $345 million just through the new Earned Income Tax Credit we helped expand. This week, we launched our “Money in Your Pocket Initiative” to help even more New Yorkers enroll in the dozens of services and benefits they are eligible for and bolster these efforts. Through this initiative, hundreds of staff will visit more than 30 underserved neighborhoods and NYCHA buildings to help thousands of New Yorkers find out what benefits they are eligible for. Here at DVS, we connect our Veterans to the benefits they earned through service--whether it's filing a VA claim, accessing educational benefits, help with housing or employment, or even food assistance--DVS has a dedicated team to help you succeed in the City of "Yes."
