NYC Council Budget Update

Councilman Mark Gjonaj fought to secure $2,170,000 for Homeless Services in the Fiscal 2019 Budget! Children and Families in NYC Homeless System: $1,350,000 Citywide Homeless Prevention Fund: $820,000 In 2019, the NYC Council continues to provide emergency grants to families in crisis at risk of eviction to keep them in their homes and avoid the shelter system through the Citywide Homeless Prevention Fund. This initiative builds upon existing efforts by the Administration to prevent families entering the homeless shelter system. Additionally, the Council funds an innovative program to address the mental health and emotional needs of families in shelter as well as providing wrap-around aftercare services to families through the Children and Families in NYC Homeless System initiative. This initiative fulfills a gap in trauma informed services not currently provided by the Administration and works towards the long-term outcome of keeping families out of shelter.
