REPORT FY 2017:
Worker Cooperative Business Development Initiative
In partnership with the NYC Council and the Office of the Mayor, New York City agencies are working to build a more vibrant and inclusive city. The NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS) contributes to this vision by connecting New Yorkers to good jobs, creating stronger businesses, and building thriving neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
Worker cooperatives - businesses owned and operated by the workers - provide meaningful employment and help improve the City’s economy. They allow New Yorkers to build businesses together, therefore allowing all the workers to gain access to upward mobility and better working conditions.
The NYC Council funded WCBDI in FY2018 to help create and support more worker cooperatives. This funding supports 13 partner organizations, including Green Worker Cooperatives, and provides centralized program management through SBS.
Our co-ops are featured in the report: Woke Foods in page 11 and New Deal Construction on page 19!
