Tracking Federal Funding in New York
One of the many things Comptroller DiNapoli does is track and report on federal funding, including Medicaid, New York’s Essential Plan, and more, including how federal dollars help the state provide New Yorkers with programs, services, and jobs. This comprehensive online resource has been updated with recent data on receipts and disbursements, as well as Medicaid and the Essential Plan. Beyond the interactive graphics, the resource provides links to in-depth reporting and analysis from the Comptroller’s Office on the impact of federal policy and funding changes on New York’s economy and critical sectors such as higher education, tourism, and agriculture, as well as how programs for the environment and nutritional assistance will be impacted.

NYC Youth Detention Costs Double Since 2019
Secure youth detention costs in New York City more than doubled, from City Fiscal Year (CFY) 2019 to CFY 2026, reaching $104 million, according to a new report released by Comptroller DiNapoli. More youth are being held in secure detention for longer periods, driving higher staffing needs and sharp increases in overtime costs. The city needs to address staffing shortages and overcrowding and also invest in prevention efforts, including after-school programs, mentoring and summer jobs, to give young people more opportunities and help keep them out of the juvenile justice system.

Comptroller DiNapoli Issues Statement on NYC’s CFY 2027 November Budget Modification
The November Plan modification shows New York City’s fiscal situation has improved some since budget adoption, led by a continuation of strong revenue growth aided by record Wall Street profits and a first step towards progress on its 2.5% Citywide Savings Program. This progress comes with a cautionary note. Volatility in financial markets fueled by AI has grown in recent months and threatens to slow revenue growth, much of which has already been used to fund new spending added in the current year. The city also has to expand the identification of savings and execute its cost containment initiatives to achieve its stated savings goals.
