HRA is dedicated to fighting poverty and income inequality by providing New Yorkers in need with essential benefits such as Food Assistance and Emergency Rental Assistance. DHS is committed to preventing and addressing homelessness in New York City by employing a variety of innovative strategies to help families and individuals successfully exit shelter and return to self-sufficiency as quickly as possible.

The programs and initiatives include IDNYC (New York City's successful municipal ID program), Fair Fares (which enables eligible New Yorkers to receive a discount on subway and bus fares), and HEAP (which assists eligible New Yorkers with heating and cooling costs).

Serve as the main liaison with the DSS Office of Program Accountability and DSS Office of Legal Affairs to assist in the review and interpretation of existing laws, rules and regulations, and in the preparation of administrative Rule proposals for IDNYC. Represent the program at meetings with the Mayor's Office, other City Agencies and Community Partners, to ensure appropriate understanding of program rules and regulations. Provide situation-specific guidance to IDNYC staff on topics related to risk management and agency compliance. Draft, revise, and review legal, policy, and related documents related to the IDNYC program including (but not limited to) policies and procedures, user guides, contracts and procurement-related materials, memoranda of understanding, etc.

Support (and in many cases, leads) a variety of special projects spanning the SPI portfolio of programs, as assigned by (and in collaboration with) the Executive Deputy Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, and Assistant Deputy Commissioner. These may include (but are not limited to): researching policy and program proposals made by HRA/DSS leadership and other stakeholders; review best practices in other jurisdictions; oversee strategic planning efforts for the SPI team; partner with colleagues in DSS' research and reporting teams to develop data dashboards and other means of tracking program performance; and incubate new initiatives to improve access and/or the breadth of services offered through SPI's programs.
