Levine on FY27 budget with 181 new positions and $17.9M
Levine details the FY27 executive budget of $78.5M with 409 active and 561 authorized headcount, the highest ever, receiving 181 new lines and $17.9M in personnel services by FY29, calling it the greatest investment in DCWP history.
For FY27, DCWP's executive budget is approximately $78.5 million, with an active headcount of 409 and an authorized headcount of 561, the highest authorized headcount our agency has ever had.
This is due in no small part to the advocacy of our partners, this council, and of course the immense support and recognition of our agency's work by our mayor.
Mayor Mamdani's executive budget represents the single greatest investment in consumer and worker rights in DCWP history.
All told, DCWP will be receiving a total of 181 new lines and $17.9 million in personnel services by FY29.
The breakdown is as follows.
In FY27, DCWP will receive 77 lines and $4.3 million in personnel services.
In FY28, we will receive 76 lines and $7.3 million in personnel services.
And in FY29, we will receive 28 lines and the remaining $6.3 million in personnel services.
The new lines we will be receiving in FY27 will be strategically deployed to immediately begin implementation of major new laws and much-needed protections for New Yorkers.
