Volunteer Opportunities and Finding Organizations.

Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) believes that limited English proficiency (LEP) should not be a hindrance to accessing the services and information the Agency provides. Without language access services consumers and workers and business with limited English proficiency could face substantial hurdles to knowing their consumer and worker rights; business owners could struggle to navigate the rules and regulations that govern commerce and the workplace in New York City, and potentially struggle to complete the license application process.

DCWP provides telephonic translation services to anyone requesting such assistance. Each month DCWP receives an invoice that records each time a translation request was made and general information in relation to each transaction, including the language requested and the DCWP division which made the request. This dataset is compiles these translation service invoices since January 2016, the earliest date this information is available.

Pursuant to Local Laws 126, 127, and 128 of 2016, certain demographic data is collected voluntarily and anonymously by persons voluntarily seeking social services. This data can be used by agencies and the public to better understand the demographic makeup of client populations and to better understand and serve residents of all backgrounds and identities.

The data presented here has been collected through either electronic form or paper surveys offered at the point of application for services. These surveys are anonymous.

Each record represents an anonymized demographic profile of an individual applicant for social services, disaggregated by response option, agency, and program. Response options include information regarding ancestry, race, primary and secondary languages, English proficiency, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

Idiosyncrasies or Limitations:
Note that while the dataset contains the total number of individuals who have identified their ancestry or languages spoke, because such data is collected anonymously, there may be instances of a single individual completing multiple voluntary surveys. Additionally, the survey being both voluntary and anonymous has advantages as well as disadvantages: it increases the likelihood of full and honest answers, but since it is not connected to the individual case, it does not directly inform delivery of services to the applicant. The paper and online versions of the survey ask the same questions but free-form text is handled differently. Free-form text fields are expected to be entered in English although the form is available in several languages. Surveys are presented in 11 languages.

2. Survey taker can skip or elect not to answer questions
3. Invalid/unreadable data may be entered for survey date or date may be skipped

The Street Pothole Work Orders data consists of closed street potholes inspected and repaired by the New York City Department of Transportation. The dataset includes the pothole’s location, the date it was reported, and date the report was completed.

The Department of City Planning aggregates information about 30,000+ facilities and program sites that are owned, operated, funded, licensed, or certified by a City, State, or Federal agency in the City of New York into a central database called the City Planning Facilities Database (FacDB). These facilities generally help to shape quality of life in the city’s neighborhoods, and this dataset is the basis for a series of planning activities. This public data resource allows all New Yorkers to understand the breadth of government resources in their neighborhoods. The data is also complemented with a new interactive web map that enables users to easily filter the data for their needs. Users are strongly encouraged to read the database documentation, particularly with regard to analytical limitations.

Questions about this database can be directed to dcpopendata@planning.nyc.gov

Provider organizations that have been prequalified to compete for City funding in specific health and human services areas. In HHS Accelerator, the City's system for procuring health and human services, prequalification is based on: experience providing the service; a key staff member able to provide the service; or a capability statement describing the organization's ability to expand into the service area. Prequalification in a service area does not necessarily indicate that an organization currently provides the service at this time. Addresses provided below indicate the organization's administrative office, and may not be the location at which services are provided.
