Description

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is launching a new public dashboard this Thursday, that offers a detailed look at the city's shelter population by age and demographic. Meanwhile, the New York City Council is considering a bill to make it easier to tip delivery drivers after a city law mandated an increase in pay that delivery companies pay workers. Plus, about half of the mental health clubhouses operating in New York City are losing city funding and might have to close down. Despite criticism, Mayor Eric Adams says he wants to build larger clubhouses in favor of smaller ones to serve more people. WNYC’s Michael Hill speaks with our healthcare reporter Caroline Lewis, and Lisa Farmer, a member of LifeLinks, one of the clubhouses in danger of shutting down.
