Q&A

Cabán thanks parent witnesses and invites further suggestions

New York City Council · Sep 23, 2026 · starts 2:33:11 · 57 sec

Cabán thanks the panel, especially the parents, and asks if they want to expand on how the city can support their families. Kristen Clifford says their kids are lucky to have them, but the city must support kids who do not have supportive parents.

Tiffany L. Cabán

I want to thank you all for your testimony, especially for the parents that we have with us.

Tiffany L. Cabán

You have provided us with

Tiffany L. Cabán

what we've needed to hear, but also suggestions on what could come next.

Tiffany L. Cabán

And so I just want to create another space if there's anything that you want to expand on in terms of how else the city can support you and your families at this time.

Tiffany L. Cabán

And obviously our door is open and we want to be having those conversations.

Tiffany L. Cabán

And also, my God, y'all are incredible parents.

Tiffany L. Cabán

So thank you.

Our kids are lucky because they have us, and there's so many kids that don't have parents like us, and the city needs to support all of those kids.

Tiffany L. Cabán

Thank you.
