AFC Testifies on the FY24 Executive Budget
05.24.2023 | Today, AFC is testifying before the New York City Council Committee on Finance regarding the FY24 Executive Budget, speaking out against proposed budget cuts. In particular, three programs included as priorities in the City Council’s response to the preliminary budget are on the chopping block, with funding that will expire in June unless extended in the FY 24 adopted budget, even though the need for these programs has only grown.
