NYC Budget Watch

Through our NYC Budget Watch series, FPWA unravels the city’s complex budgetary documents to provide key takeaways and analysis at each stage of New York City’s budget process. 

Scroll over each step to read our findings.

Step 1:

Preliminary Budget
At the start of the year, the Mayor presents a Preliminary Budget outlining his funding priorities and policy goals for the City. Once the Preliminary Budget is released, the formal budget negotiation process begins between the Mayor and the New York City Council, with the Council initiating the first round of Public Hearings on the budget.
Our Takeaway

Step 2:

Executive Budget (coming soon)
In April, the Mayor releases the Executive Budget, an updated proposed budget based on the Council’s response to the Preliminary Budget. The Council conducts a second round of targeted hearings based on outlined proposals.
Analysis Coming Soon

Step 4:

Modified Budget (coming soon)
In November, half-way through the fiscal year, the Mayor reassesses the adopted budget based on updated estimates of revenue and spending needs. The Mayor can increase or decrease spending by 5% without consulting the City Council.
Analysis Coming Soon

Step 3:

Adopted Budget (coming soon)
By July 1, the start of the new Fiscal Year, the Mayor and City Council are required to come to an agreement and publish the Adopted Budget. If an agreement is not found, certain appropriations are extended.
Analysis Coming Soon

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.

FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.
