Commissioner Ali presents MOIA budget and staffing overview
Ali presents MOIA's $34.2M FY27 budget with 70+ contracts. She notes 10 new positions are currently open for hiring, and that she has met directly with providers to understand community needs and ensure funding stability.
In the interest of time, I'm going to skip around in testimony, but you do have my full statement as well.
With a fiscal year 27 budget of approximately $34.2 million, Moyer maintains more than 70 contracts with nonprofit organizations serving immigrant communities across the five boroughs.
We have already communicating funding levels to all contracted providers so that they can plan accordingly for the next fiscal year.
Over the past few weeks, it feels like it's been several months already at MOIA, but over the past few weeks, I have met directly with our providers to better understand how the city can be a strong community.
They are meeting this moment with urgency, compassion, and a deep community trust, doing critical work on the front lines.
Now more than ever, the city must provide stability in both funding and vision so providers can continue delivering urgently needed services to immigrant New Yorkers.
At the same time, MOIA is continuing to build a team capable of advancing Mayor Momdani's bold agenda.
Ten new positions at MOIA are currently open, and we expect to move forward with hiring in the coming weeks.
I appreciate the Council's continued attention to MOIA's staffing levels and look forward to sharing additional updates soon.
