City Council Member Erik Bottcher on Tuesday unveiled a new resume and job bank called the West Side Work Coalition aimed at connecting residents from several NYCHA developments in his district to local jobs.
Bottcher said that his goal for the initiative was to address the income inequality between some of the neighborhood’s affluent employers and public housing residents that could use some opportunities. The coalition is asking for local employers to join and list available positions, while it maintains the infrastructure to match people with them.
