The piece continues, “As the report authors noted, ‘Government funding delays have been longstanding and severe across New York City nonprofits, with critical services to New Yorkers hanging in the balance. In 2024, over 90% of the human services contracts that NYC government had with nonprofits were registered late. At most agencies, the first payments to human services providers came an average of 6.5 months after the contract’s start date.'”
