CM Cabán on trans-equity program funding levels
Anderson provides numbers: $2M for the TGNCNB Empowerment Fund across 20 CBOs, and $2.75M in FY26 council discretionary contracts across five vendors for trans-equity programming including primary, surgical, and mental health care.
Yeah, thanks Chair Cabana, thanks Commissioner.
So just to put some numbers on a couple of things we've talked about.
One is, as the Commissioner mentioned, this 20 community-based organizations that are receiving funding.
So that's through the
TGNC NB Empowerment Fund, and that's a $2 million investment.
And then there's also the trans-equity programming.
So there are seven FY26 city council discretionary contracts across five vendors totaling $2.75 million.
That supports primary care, surgical care, mental health care, education programs, and a whole host of other resources.
