ACCESS NYC is a public service platform run by the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity in New York City. It helps residents find and apply for benefits and services such as SNAP, Cash Assistance, Medicaid, HEAP, and housing or transportation support. The platform works by offering a centralized, user-friendly online portal where people can fill out a single application to apply for multiple programs at once, plus access information and help with applications. It is funded by government funding and grants, not by sales or subscriptions. Its goal is to reduce poverty and increase equity by making essential resources easier to access for all NYC residents, including families, individuals, and immigrants, regardless of immigration status or employment situation.

NYC Public Schools add 130 solar rooftop arrays, 86 more in progress. Date Posted Apr 28, 2026 New York City Public Schools (NYCPS), the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) recently celebrated a milestone in the City's Solar Schools Program, having completed 130 solar rooftop arrays on public schools since the passage of Local Law 99 a year and a half ago. The 130th installation at Marie Curie High School in the Bronx, which will generate more than 50 percent of the school's annual energy needs, also marked the addition of 27.5 megawatts (MW) to the City's solar energy generation capacity on public school property, with the ultimate goal of 100 MW by 2030 and 150 MW by 2035. "For the last several years, DCAS has been a great partner to Local Union No. 3, IBEW and our signatory contractors, as they've continued to expand key solar energy infrastructure on schools throughout the city," Business Manager Christopher Erikson Jr. said. "Our highly trained union electricians bring the expertise needed to build complex projects like the installation at Marie Curie High School, helping the city tackle the dual climate and energy crises we face. DCAS's commitment to using union labor ensures the work associated leads not to short-term, dead-end solar installer jobs but family-sustaining, middle-class union careers for New Yorkers."
Trump admin investigates New York City ed dept over alleged jew-hatred. April 24, 2026 at 8:45 am The U.S. Department of Education announced on Thursday that it is investigating allegations of Jew-hatred within the New York City Department of Education. The federal agency stated that it is investigating reports that employees at the New York City department held "Palestine, Zionism and Resistance" webinars. Dominique Ellison, associate press secretary for the New York City department, told JNS that the department is reviewing the notice. It is also probing allegations that a group called NYC Educators for Palestine, which Ellison told JNS was not connected to New York City Public Schools, is teaching children that Zionists are "genocidal white supremacists" and that Hamas should be supported. Kimberly Richey, assistant secretary for civil rights at the department, stated that the allegations are "appalling." "No child should be taught by his or her teachers to hate their peers," she said. "Neither should Jewish children be taught that being Jewish somehow makes them inherently guilty or proponents of hate and violence." The department is investigating whether the New York City department violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. "Discrimination has no place in our schools, and, unlike the previous administration, the Trump administration will not turn a blind eye to antisemitic harassment," Richey stated. JNS
Retired NYPD sergeant arrested in corruption probe linked to city lawmaker and governor's aide. March 31, 2026 11:59 am NEW YORK (AP) - A retired New York City police sergeant whose company provided security to the city's migrant shelters has been indicted on bribery charges in a corruption investigation linked to a New York City Council member and an aide to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. Edouardo St. Fort was arrested in Massachusetts on Tuesday, court records show. His bribery case, filed in Brooklyn federal court, remained under seal as of Tuesday morning. A message seeking comment was left for a lawyer assigned to represent St. Fort. St. Fort and his company, Fort NYC Security, had been named in a federal search warrant obtained by The Associated Press that sought information about whether City Council member Farah Louis and her sister, Hochul aide Debbie Louis, accepted bribes or kickbacks in connection with the appropriation of city funds for a migrant shelter operator. Debbie Louis has been placed on leave, the governor's office said. According to St. Fort's arrest warrant, he is under indictment on charges of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, bribery involving programs receiving federal funds, and violating a law prohibiting interstate travel for unlawful activities. Records show Fort NYC Security was a subcontractor to two nonprofit organizations that provide homeless services to the city, BHRAGS Home Care Corp. and Bronx Family Network Inc. BHRAGS Home Care was also named in the search warrant. A spokesperson for the organization declined to comment. According to city records, the city agreed to pay Fort NYC Security more than $7 million to provide security services from 2023 to 2027, including at a Bronx hotel used as a homeless shelter. Records from the city comptroller's office show that five of the six contracts awarded to Fort NYC Security were done so on an emergency basis, meaning the city did not have to solicit bids and award them to the lowest responsible bidder. St. Fort retired from the NYPD in 2023, according to a police spokesperson. Messages left for Farah Louis and Debbie Louis were not returned. A spokesperson for the City Council said the legislative body "takes any potential misconduct extremely seriously." "New Yorkers deserve confidence in their government," the spokesperson said. "It is essential that the federal investigation proceed fairly and expeditiously to bring this matter to a resolution."
