Posted: October 15, 2026 NYC Health Department Mobilizes Support for New Yorkers Impacted by New Federal Medicaid Requirements - NYC Health- We've issued a press release on how we're empowering providers, equipping community partners, and directly educating New Yorkers on the new Federal Medicaid Requirements. Our new agency page,nyc.gov/medicaidhelp, helps to provide ongoing information about the changes, including what New Yorkers should know and where they can find help. Breast Cancer - NYC Health- October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Routine screenings can help you find breast cancer before it causes health problems.

If New Yorkers do not have insurance, they may be eligible to sign up for low- or no-cost health insurance. You can also get free assistance signing up for a plan.

Update on Prospect Heights ASP Pilot

Posted: October 8, 2026   News from Councilmember Crystal Hudson: As many of you know, our office worked with the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) to secure a first-of-its-kind Alternate Side Parking (ASP) pilot program in parts of Prospect Heights and Crown Heights. From Monday, August 3 to Friday, September 25, DSNY temporarily reduced ASP enforcement to once a week, down from twice a week (per side). DSNY resumed enforcing on all posted ASP days on Monday, September 28.  For years, our office has heard from local residents who have asked whether twice-a-week Alternate Side Parking is still necessary to keep neighborhood streets clean. We undertook this pilot to determine whether once-a-week ASP can maintain the same level of cleanliness while reducing the burden on residents. As we mentioned when the pilot was launched, strong community participation would help make the case for expanding similar efforts elsewhere in the district.  Based on the results, DSNY has informed us that they will not extend the pilot, citing reduced compliance on ASP days and reduced cleanliness. During the pilot period, DSNY deployed several monitoring tools, took photosRead More

NYC DOT Art Program

Posted: March 17, 2026 NYC DOT Art program: Alex Strada, DCLA, and DHS (October 2025) NYC Department of Transportation’s Art program (NYC DOT Art) is partnering with Alex Strada, the Department of Cultural Affairs, the Department of Homeless Services, and the Storefront for Art and Architecture to present a signage installation on DOT signposts and streetlight poles throughout Brooklyn. Titled, “Public Address,” the artwork is the culmination of Strada’s three years as a Public Artist in Residency (PAIR) imbedded at the Department of Homeless Services. Over that time, Strada held log writing workshops across the boroughs engaging over 300 people living or working in the NYC shelter system in personal reflection and expression. This socially engaged artwork is aimed at destigmatizing homelessness by providing a platform for people living and working in city shelters to address the greater public. The display period is April 2026 through March 2027 and will be installed in conjunction with a larger sign installation at Columbus Park (through the NYC Parks Department). The project is currently installed in Manhattan and will continue to iterations in all five boroughs. NYCRead More
