Department of Social Services Commissioner Molly Wasow Park has submitted her resignation, the mayor’s office confirmed Monday.
“It’s truly been the honor of a lifetime to lead the country’s largest social services agency alongside some of the most remarkable and dedicated public servants in New York City. The staff across our agency and not-for-profit provider network form the bedrock of our city’s safety net and I am tremendously proud to have represented the countless city workers and human services providers who have been on the frontlines of responding to unprecedented challenges over the last few years,” Wasow Park wrote in a statement.
DSS is comprised of both the Human Resources Administration and the Department of Homeless Services.
Wasow Park was tapped as the commissioner in 2023 by former Mayor Eric Adams.
Her last day on the job is set for March 11.
