Governor Hochul Announces $10 Million Awarded in the First Round of Abortion Provider Support Fund

 

Launches Series of Reproductive Health Care Roundtables with Providers to Discuss Needs and Experiences of Providing Care in New York Post-Roe

 Governor Kathy Hochul today announced $10 million awarded in the first round of the Abortion Provider Support Fund to 13 programs, covering 63 sites. The Governor also launched a series of reproductive health care roundtables, beginning with today's roundtable with downstate awardees, to discuss the needs and experiences of providers and how New York is confronting challenges and protecting access post-Roe. Applications for round two of funding will open next week. For the second phase, $15 million will be awarded to a broader array of programs, including independent clinics. 

"Under my watch, New York will always be a safe harbor for those seeking reproductive health care, and I am committed to working with providers across the state to ensure they have the support and resources they need," Governor Hochul said. "We will continue to build on our nation-leading protections for abortion patients and providers to safeguard abortion access in our state."  

For phase one, the New York State Department of Health is awarding $10 million to organizations that are currently funded under the Comprehensive Family Planning Program (CFPP) - which delivers comprehensive family planning and reproductive health services to low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals of reproductive age - and have provided medical and/or surgical abortions in the past 12 months.
