Governor Hochul names 800,000 units of housing over the next decade, raising the minimum wage and tying it to inflation, more money for public safety (including more law enforcement, mental health programs, and reforms to cash bail), increase money to public education including the expansion of pre-k, more money for healthcare and mental healthcare increasing access to both, among her priorities.

More detailed information will be forthcoming in the Executive Budget due at the end of March.

“When you have the high unemployment, the gross inequities, and the unaffordable, unfit housing we have; When you have the displaced families, under-resourced schools, and over-policed neighborhoods we have… When you have problems like these, you don’t get away with not planning ahead,” Reynoso said.

BP Reynoso pledged to solarize low-income housing, reform community boards, and boost Black Brooklyn businesses and nonprofits in 2023.

NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today released New York City’s balanced $102.7 billion Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24). The budget reflects the mayor’s ongoing commitment to promoting an equitable recovery by making investments in affordable housing, keeping city streets clean, ensuring the safety of communities, and promoting a greener, healthier city. The Preliminary Budget also doubles down on Mayor Adams’ commitment to fiscal responsibility by spending limited city resources wisely amid the ongoing economic and fiscal challenges facing the city, state, and nation, and maintaining the city’s budget reserves at a record level of $8.3 billion.
