SERVICE 2 Increase youth capacity for economic independence through programs that provide workrelated education, skills training and employment opportunities.
Goal 2a Young people will complete DYCD-funded training and employment programs at high levels.
The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) provides young people with career exploration opportunities and paid
work experiences each summer. Fiscal 2020 indicators reflect programming for the summer of 2019, which was not affected by COVID-19.
During the summer of 2019 (Fiscal 2020), the number of youth served through SYEP continued to grow:74,453 youth
participated in SYEP, slightly more than the previous yearâs expanded enrollment of 74,354. SYEP offered a new program
model, which included Project Based Learning activities for youth ages 14 and 15. There were a total of 808 projects
that provided youth the opportunity to work in groups on project themes such as the Census, civic engagement, Environmental Justice, and Media Literacy. In addition, there were 13,157 diverse worksites; 46 percent of approved worksites were private sector sites.
In Fiscal 2020, the total value of SYEP contracts exceeded $29 million, a nine percent decrease from Fiscal 2019 attributable to a suspension of services in late Fiscal 2020 due to COVID-19. These decreases will be reflected in fewer participants served in summer 2020 (Fiscal 2021).
Enrollment in DYCDâs federally-funded Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs decreased by one
percent in the Learn & Earn program (formerly In-School Youth) and decreased by 23 percent in the Train & Earn program (formerly Out-of-School Youth) in Fiscal 2020 because enrollment was suspended in mid-March due to COVID-19.

WIOA providers for both programs were able to transition to providing services remotely, including occupational training, academic support and tutoring, counseling and support services, remote paid work experiences, and both remote
and in person summer internships.

Goal 2b Young people engaged in DYCD-funded training and employment programs will achieve success targeted
by these programs.
The U.S. Department of Labor uses the four indicators below to assess whether participants in workforce development
programs are successfully being placed in post-secondary education, employment, or training opportunities. While DYCD
manages the contracts associated with WIOA programs, these outcome data are collected by the New York State Department
of Labor (NYSDOL). NYSDOL has not yet made Fiscal 2020 outcome data available.

SERVICE 3 Support programs that provide participants with the services needed to increase and tap
their capacity to strengthen and revitalize the communities of New York City.
Goal 3a Maximize participation in and effectiveness of community antipoverty initiatives for youth, adults and
seniors in lower income neighborhoods, including Neighborhood Development Area (NDA) and Mayorâs
Office for Economic Opportunity (NYC Opportunity) programs.
In Fiscal 2020, DYCD served 13,741 New Yorkers through a variety of anti-poverty programs. Each program has tailored
target outcomes for participants, such as gains in work-readiness skills, overcoming housing challenges, and academic
improvement. In Fiscal 2020, 75 percent of participants achieved their designated outcomes, a five percentage point increase
from Fiscal 2019 and well above the Fiscal 2020 target of 65 percent for this portfolio.

Goal 3b Maximize participation and success in programs improving English literacy skills among adults, adolescents,
children and recent immigrants.
DYCD provides New Yorkers with opportunities to improve their English literacy skills through funding Adult Basic Education
(ABE) and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs. In Fiscal 2020, 15,631 New Yorkers were served
through these programs, representing an 11 percent increase. This increase is attributable to the reclassification of all
ESOL/Civics programs as Literacy programs and not Immigrant Services programs as they have been in the past. Combined
participation in the two portfolios held steady.
Forty-two percent of participants met standards of improvement in their ability to read, write, and speak English, compared
with 56 percent in Fiscal 2019. This decrease is attributable to a suspension of in-person standardized tests used to measure
improvement because of COVID-19.

Goal 3c Maximize the number of New York City immigrants receiving services that improve language and
employment skills that help families successfully integrate into their new communities.
In Fiscal 2020 the number of participants served by DYCDâs immigrant assistance programs decreased by 54 percent to
1,403 compared with 3,081 in Fiscal 2019. This decrease is because ESOL/Civics programs were reclassified as Literacy
programs. The combined participation in both portfolios held steady. The percentage of participants achieving positive
outcomes in immigrant services programs increased two percentage points to 63 percent, which exceeds the Fiscal 2020
target of 60 percent. Positive outcomes for this portfolio of programs can include, but need not be limited to, participants
gaining self-advocacy skills and participants gaining access to social services and government benefits.

NOTEWORTHY CHANGES, ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS !
âą The Fiscal 2020 values for indicators that capture participation in Literacy and Immigrant Services programs have
been updatedâall ESOL/Civics programs previously included in the Immigrant Services portfolio are now included
in the Literacy portfolio. Any comparison of Fiscal 2020 values with prior years should make note of this change in
classification.
âą The following indicators have been updated to include data for services for HYA in addition to RHY. The names and
definitions of the indicators have been updated accordingly as needed. Although all indicators are being updated to
include anticipated changes to the target populations, only TIL programs operated for HYA during Fiscal 2020. The
indicators for RHY TIL programs have been updated to include services for HYA:
â Youth and young adults reunited with family or placed in a suitable environment from Crisis Services Programs (%)
â Youth and young adults reunited with family or placed in a suitable environment from Transitional Independent
Living (TIL) Support Programs (%)
â Residential beds for runaway or homeless youth and homeless young adults
â Runaway and homeless youth and homeless young adults servedâCrisis Services Programs
â Runaway and homeless youth and homeless young adults servedâTransitional Independent Living (TIL) Support
Programs
â Utilization rate for Crisis Services Programs (%)
â Utilization rate for Transitional Independent Living (TIL) Support Programs (%)
âą Data for the indicators âAgency assessments completedâ and âAgency assessments completed as a percent of total agency
contracts (%)â becomes available after the MMR. Program staff complete site visit evaluations from the conclusion of
the Fiscal Year, and agency assessments are then generated and reviewed based on those site visit evaluations.
