""These services are in such demand. We need our city to step up and help these entrepreneurs do their job well.""
""What we're doing here is establishing a new era for street vendors, within the administration within New York City, to make sure that we're focused on actual true education for folks to be able to invest in their businesses, to grow them, and to know that they have a support system.""
Carina Kaufman-Gutierrez has advocated for street vendors for seven years, helping them navigate local vending laws. Her organization, the Street Vendor Project, faced challenges in meeting demand for assistance. Kaufman-Gutierrez has been appointed executive director of the new Office of Street Vendor Services, which aims to educate the city's 23,000 street vendors about local laws. This role will allow her to replicate her previous work at a larger scale, focusing on providing support and resources for vendors to grow their businesses.
