engage employers and jobseekers.
Recent legislation passed by the New York State Legislature (Bill No. A.7677 - 2023/Bill No. S.7387-B -
2023) will allow the City to establish a Community Hiring program in which the City and affiliated entities
can set workforce goals across a broad range of City procurement contracts, requiring that contractors
make best efforts to provide a certain percentage of job and apprentice opportunities on City projects to
low-income individuals, NYCHA residents, and people from economically disadvantaged communities.
Through Community Hiring, individuals from often-overlooked communities will have access to viable
career opportunities and City contractors will have access to an expansive, qualified talent pool. Rolling
out this ambitious and historic effort requires a committed team who can develop program rules and
policies, build out a new NYC Charter office, engage with and educate internal and external stakeholders
about Community Hiring, and help develop and meet data-driven metrics for success.
