Technology-Enabled Readiness Pilot

Improving job search and affordable housing application outcomes in NYC through structured, software-supported workflows — powered by Centra Path and AMI NYC.

Centra Path

Centra Path

AI-assisted career workflow tool. Helps participants organize resumes, cover letters, and job applications — reducing the documentation errors that lead to missed opportunities.

AMI NYC

NYC affordable housing informational app. Helps participants calculate AMI eligibility, find open lotteries, track document readiness, and apply through official portals — in English, Spanish, or Chinese.

Pilot Overview

This pilot deploys Centra Path and AMI NYC together to reduce administrative friction in two of New York's most consequential systems: employment and affordable housing. Many eligible residents fail to access opportunities not because of ineligibility, but due to fragmented processes, incomplete documentation, and missed deadlines. These tools address exactly that.
