Improving New York City’s Public Benefits System: A Key Role for Help Desks

This Brennan Center Strategic Fund Policy Proposal sets forth the observations of advocates and of public benefits clients, as conveyed to the Brennan Center in interviews and focus groups that we conducted in 2007. We describe a variety of ways in which help desks can substantially improve the public benefits system and the lives of many New Yorkers. It is time for the City to remove its ban on help desks.
