MOCA Director Wisdom: OPHC funding increase and closing remarks

Finally, I'd like to thank the

I'd be remiss if I did not mention what my colleague just mentioned, which is one of the most exciting priorities and accomplishments of the Mamdani administration thus far, the massive influx of funding into OPHC.

OPHC's funding has dramatically increased under this administration from $3 million annually to $29 million annually, an increase of 886%.

We are in close communication with OPHC and the Office of Community Safety broadly regarding how to best use this increased funding to meaningfully combat anti-Semitism alongside our administration's work to combat all other forms of hate.

Thank you again for inviting my colleagues and I to testify before this critical committee.

I look forward to answering your questions and continuing our shared work over the coming years.

Thank you for your testimony.
