They are in need of getting the payments as quickly as possible. Cities are not always good with paying on time with all the engaged processes, but we 100% are on top of this issue,” Adams said at a press conference. </p><div id="emp-50670" class="amp-action" style="text-align:center;"> <script type="text/javascript"> var divsize = document.querySelector('#emp-50670').parentNode.clientWidth; var rnd = Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6); var pid551839 = rnd; var plc551839 = window.plc551839 || 0; var abkw = window.abkw || ''; var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=551839;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid551839+';place='+(plc551839++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER'; var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1]; document.write('<scr'+'ipt src="'+absrc+'" type="text/javascript"></'+'script>'); </script></div> <p class="p1">Earlier this month, Small’s organization and several other legal service providers sent a letter to Mayor Adams imploring him to circumvent the payment delays that endanger their ability to assist vulnerable New Yorkers.</p> <p class="p1">The organizations, including The Legal Aid Society and Brooklyn Defender Services, stressed that the delays in payments on contracts with the Human Resources Administration (HRA) could have catastrophic effects on their operations.</p> <p class="p1">Providers said they’ve also faced significant delays in submitting invoices for Fiscal Year 2025 budgets, as the HRA still needs to approve them. This inaction has left organizations unable to invoice for five months, cutting off vital funding needed for operational stability. With contracts for critical programs such as the Right to Counsel and the Immigrant Opportunities Initiative on hold, organizations worry that cash flow issues will lead to layoffs and reduced services.</p><div class="ad-container embedded-ad-container"> <div class="responsive-ad">  <div id='amny_content_responsive_1'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('amny_content_responsive_1'); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> <p>Without the city’s payment, organizations across the city say their backs are against the wall. <p>BronxWorks, an organization offering programs for youth, meals and homeless shelters, currently has $9 million in unreimbursed services. <p>According to Gordon Miller, chief financial officer of the BronxWorks, the organization recently had to rely on a line of credit to manage payroll, as <a href="https://www.bxtimes.com/bronx-nonprofits-city-contracts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> by the Bronx Times.</p> <p>Council Members are backing nonprofits in this fight, citing a lack of accountability and consequences as the reason the city is dragging its feet. <p>“[T]he city is behaving like a disengaged, deadbeat parent,” Council Members Althea Stevens and Justin Brannan said in a <a href="https://www.nynmedia.com/opinion/2024/11/opinion-nonprofits-keep-new-york-running-citys-pushing-them-cliff/401026/?oref=nyn_firstread_nl&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NYN%20First%20Read%20-%20November%2014%2C%202024&utm_term=newsletter_nyn_firstread" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent op-ed</a>. </p><div class="ad-container embedded-ad-container"> <div class="responsive-ad"> <div id='amny_content_responsive_2'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('amny_content_responsive_2'); }); </script> </div> </div> </div> <p>Both the pols are working on legislation requiring the city to pay interest on late payments. <p>The city previously made efforts to address the issue, including forming the Task Force on Nonprofit Contracting and a “Clear the Backlog,” which released more than $4 billion in owed contractual funds to nonprofit organizations, according to the mayor. </p> <p>But all strides have been “stalled,” per the council members. <p class="p1">Organizations like Legal Services NYC voiced strong opposition to a new plan that would result in nonprofits receiving only 90% of their contracted payments, regardless of meeting performance targets.</p> <p class="p1">“We understand that systemic change takes time,” Small said. “But the current payment pace is unsustainable. We remain hopeful that the City will take decisive and immediate action to clear the backlog and prevent future delays so that vulnerable New Yorkers can access the services they so desperately need.”</p><div class="ad-container embedded-ad-container"> <div class="responsive-ad"> <div id='amny_content_responsive_3'> <script> googletag.cmd.push(function() {
