Human Services Contracts

HPD contracts with not-for-profit community-based social services providers to meet a variety of needs of local communities to include affordable housing, Lead Hazard Reduction, property management, family shelters, and contracts in support of the agency’s Housing Choice, Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS), and Moving On programs.

HPD is also an active partner in the City’s Nonprofit Resiliency Committee (NRC). Formed in 2016, the NRC gives the health and human service nonprofit community a direct voice in influencing the City of New York’s business practices, policies, and technology solutions, from the RFP development process to timely contract registration.

Update Procedures to Request Written Consent Under NYC Anti-Nepotism Policy

Are you a human services contractor? Have an instance of existing or foreseeable nepotism within your company? Contractors must obtain the Contracting Agency Commissioner's written consent for potential violations of the anti-nepotism provision within their standard human services contract. The City’s anti-nepotism policies are crucial for maintaining integrity and fairness in our workplace.

Please find the updated NYC Anti-Nepotism Policy and Guidance for Not-for-Profit Contractors of Human Services here.

Human Services Disclosure Reform 

The Health and Human Services Vendor Compliance Cabinet was convened to discuss human service collaboration vendor integrity issues, support nonprofits by streamlining and standardizing compliance in accordance with the recommendations of the Joint Taskforce to Get Nonprofits Paid on Time and mitigate risks to the City of New York. 

On January 28th, 2025, the Health and Human Services Vendor Compliance Cabinet adopted the NYC Conflict of Interest and Related Party Transactions Policy and Guidance for Contractors of Human Services (“Policy”). With these interagency efforts, this package of human services disclosure reforms will reduce the administrative burdens on small non-profits, reduce contracting delays, and manage necessary disclosures in PASSPort centrally by: 

  • Creating a new and simplified Discretionary Prequalification (Discretionary PQL) Application for over one thousand nonprofits that receive only City Council discretionary awards.
  • Adding a 30-day extension option to the existing PQL.
  • Updating the Human Service PQL to collect required disclosures centrally and simplify compliance.
