Q&A

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:54:18 · 1 min 58 sec

Farías seeks the total NGBV budget. Sethi says FY27 total is $89.1 million, with roughly $7 to $8 million for staff and the rest contracted programming and discretionary Council contracts; Delany-Brumsey confirms the $15.7 million increase is part of that total.

Amanda C. Farías

Great.

Amanda C. Farías

Just wanted to touch base back on what Councilmember Gutierrez was tapping on with the budget.

Amanda C. Farías

Can I get a better idea?

Amanda C. Farías

I know in the testimony you provided, you stated the budget is 15.7, and that is larger than budgets we've received in the past.

Amanda C. Farías

Do we know what the total is?

Amanda C. Farías

Budget is?

Amanda C. Farías

Is that the total budget?

Amanda C. Farías

No, no.

Saloni Sethi

NGBB's total budget for FY27 is now $89 million, which is, you know, yeah, which is, you know, increased significantly since 2022.

Saloni Sethi

$89.

Amanda C. Farías

$89 million.

Amanda C. Farías

And for FY27, you're saying it's over $89 million.

Saloni Sethi

$89.1 million, right?

Saloni Sethi

And we can provide a breakdown.

Amanda C. Farías

Yeah, I would really appreciate that.

Amanda C. Farías

Just because I'm looking through the testimony.

Amanda C. Farías

I see the 15.7.

Amanda C. Farías

I'm not a mathematician.

Saloni Sethi

That's a new funding.

Amanda C. Farías

Right.

Amanda C. Farías

Okay.

Amanda C. Farías

Because I'm seeing some...

Amanda C. Farías

Parts of the budget in the testimony here that are like expanding home plus the 4.3.

Amanda C. Farías

annual investment of 3.9 at the family justice centers.

Amanda C. Farías

I'm trying to differentiate what is the, what are the differences between where some of these like legal services or other services are not directly housed under either OCS or NGBV's budget specifically.

Amanda C. Farías

And are they across different other investments or what is the breakdown?

Amanda C. Farías

I would love to receive that after the fact so we can get a better idea.

Ayesha Delany-Brumsey

Yeah, we can absolutely do the breakdown.

Ayesha Delany-Brumsey

We can definitely give the breakdown.

Ayesha Delany-Brumsey

That $15.7 million went entirely to NGBV and to services supported by or overseen by NGBV.

Ayesha Delany-Brumsey

And that's part of the overall $89 million.

Saloni Sethi

Yeah, and our $89 million, I think, you know, just off the top of my head, it's somewhere on like $7 or $8 million of staff.

Saloni Sethi

And then the rest is all contracted programming and discretionary council contracts.

Amanda C. Farías

And so the $15.7 was an increase from FY26.

Saloni Sethi

Yes, in programmatic funding, in contracted programming.

Amanda C. Farías

Right, not operational.

Saloni Sethi

Yeah.

Amanda C. Farías

Okay.

Amanda C. Farías

Thank you.

Amanda C. Farías

We'd love the breakdown.
