Before we can hand out free groceries, my staff and partners from the NYPD and Empire Health are there to set everything up. They deserve a lot of praise for their hard work.

There are many victories to celebrate in the 2022 budget announced today. Among them, as Housing and Buildings Chair, I am especially proud of a $1 million increase in funding to foreclosure prevention programs to help keep people in their homes. As Chair of the Task force on MWBEs, I am proud of $1 million in funding I secured for Chamber on the Go and a five-borough chamber initiative to help struggling mom and pop businesses through this challenging time. Special thanks t...o Speaker Johnson, the Black, Latino and Asian Caucus, the Budget Negotiating Team, and all the advocates and civic-minded community residents who spoke out about the panoply of important priorities our 2022 budget addresses. Every budget is an effort to do as much as we can with limited resources. Every budget is a representation of our values as a City. I’m proud this budget makes important investments across HPD, DOB, other City agencies, and community partners to help keep our communities whole. https://www.nytimes.com//06/30/nyreg/nyc-budget-covid.html
