Sluggish reimbursement of the thousands of nonprofits that work with the city is the target of a new joint report from City Hall and the city comptroller’s office, seeking to expedite the payment process.
In late April 2020, city officials approached the Volunteers of America nonprofit’s Greater New York chapter to ask for help with a major undertaking: Convert a midtown hotel into a transitional housing facility for homeless New Yorkers during the pandemic.
But, thanks to an onerous and complicated billing process, the city did not pay a dime for their services until six months later in November, according to VOA-NY’s CEO Myung Lee. The nonprofit took out lines of credit to cover their expenses in the meantime.
