# NYC ACS Ends Power of Two Contract

New York City’s Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) did not renew Power of Two’s **$1.5 million** contract for in-home parent coaching and Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up programming, which expired September 30, 2026. The administration says it is moving away from this type of primary-prevention service; it may refer families through the city intake system and would welcome a future application if funding becomes available, but no new solicitation has been identified.

- The contract’s expiration removes Power of Two’s primary city funding source for the program; the signals do not establish whether services will continue through another funding source.
- For contractors and nonprofit service providers, this is a concrete example of renewal risk when an agency shifts its service approach. Organizations with similar city-funded programs should account for the possibility that expiring work may not be recompeted or renewed.
- The city has not announced a replacement procurement. Power of Two may apply if funding for this scope becomes available, but there is no stated solicitation or deadline to act on.
