Nonprofit Business Continuity
Human services nonprofit organizations deliver vital services to our City's communities, including our most vulnerable populations. Since March 2020, the City meets at least weekly with representatives from the human services sector to address concerns and provide guidance about nonprofit business continuity, ongoing service delivery, and workforce concerns.
With the establishment of the Nonprofit Resiliency Committee, the City has partnered with the human services sector to design standard and streamlined approaches to doing business, leveraging technology and existing data, whenever possible.
Executive Order No. 64
- Effective March 3, 2021, Executive Order No. 64 requires contracted human services providers to submit sexual harassment policies and a Board of Directors certification through PASSPort. Please upload policies and certification together – in one document to the Miscellaneous Documents section of the Documentation tab in your PASSPort vendor profile under the label Sexual Harassment Policy. Contracting agencies will be rolling out this requirement through a rider attached to each new contracting action (e.g., a new contract, renewal, extension or amendment). The Board of Directors certification template can be found here.
- Pursuant to the terms of the contract rider, contracted human services providers must upload information about sexual harassment complaints to The Department of Investigation (DOI), whether made by an employee, client or other person. This information should be uploaded to the DOI document portal found here: http://www.nyc.gov/HSProviderReport.
