Mayor DeBlasio: End corruption and incompetence within DSS/HRA
Stop the corruption within the NY Human Resources Administration/Department of Social Services causing homelessness and harm to New Yorkers in dire need.
Why is this important?
As a single mom, my children and I were able to escape our abuser, their father; a situation which has left us without income or child support. Four (4) months after seeking emergency assistance from HRA/DSS, our civil rights have been violated in that our case has been grossly mishandled and left dormant. We have had to live without means to purchase food, clothing, toilet paper, etc. Innumerable phone calls to DSS went unanswered and/ or the phone numbers provided were non-working numbers. We are now in the process of going to a homeless shelter, despite HRA/DSS programs designed to prevent this and despite me fighting every single day, with the help of Senator Tony Avella (D, Queens), to prevent this. It should be noted that myself and Senator Avella are in possession of every single defective document and all telephone records and every erroneous email and communication between myself and HRA/DSS.
As an unemployed lawyer in a dismal economy, I choose to fight this battle on behalf of all New Yorkers in need, in order to prevent harm and homelessness to other families.
