Mayor Eric Adams announced a $741 million investment for an estimated 80,000 human services workers employed by non-profit organizations with a city contract as part of a new cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Project Renewal’s President & CEO, Eric Rosenbaum, shared some thoughts on the new initiative, noting its positive impact on the stability of our city.
“Mayor Adams’ and Speaker Adrienne Adams’ commitment to a cost-of-living adjustment for human service workers is not just the right thing for the workers themselves — it’s good for all of New York City.”
