Mamdani Budget Leaves Out Key Program for Low-Income New Yorkers

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s budget proposal excludes funding for NYCBenefits, a program connecting low-income New Yorkers to benefits. The program, which helped 28,000 residents apply for aid and provided over $20 million in assistance, risks ending without funding. Providers and 50 organizations are urging the mayor to guarantee continued support.
