IRS990/Desc0In 2020, our activities included:For the NYC Department of Ediucation and the NYC Department of Social Services/Department of Homeless Services, we continued a project to develop human-centered interventions to better coordinate service delivery and staff training between homeless shelters and schools. For the NYC Administration of Childrens Service and the NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, PPL researched how families connect with and experience mental health and therapeutic support services, then began to develop strategies to prioritize resource distribution in city agencies, refine referral pathways for families, better engage young clients in therapeutic sessions, and create sustainable feedback channels for families and providers voices to be heard. For the New York City Housing Authority, we applied a human-centered approach to analyze NYCHAs implementation of alternative work schedules and generate recommendations for the NYCHA transformation plan. Working collaboratively with staff and residents at NYCHA developments, we evaluated how alternative work schedules can provide better service to residents and reduce overtime costs.
