CPC Statement on the NYC FY 23-24 Adopted Budget

On June 30th, New York City passed a $107 billion budget for FY24. CPC acknowledges and commends the City Council for restoring major cuts to social services proposed in the Executive Budget. However, we are deeply disappointed that the critical investments needed to sustain the human services workforce were left out of the budget, and that while restorations were made, the budget failed to invest deeply in social safety net, education, housing and the resources necessary to support Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI), immigrant, and low-income communities.
