Q&A

Santosuosso asks if providers will see funding decreases from merger

New York City Council · Sep 30, 2026 · starts 0:48:17 · 31 sec

Santosuosso asks whether current NGBV-funded contractors or providers will see any funding decrease due to the merger. The answer says no funding is being decreased, only increased.

Kayla Santosuosso

And I believe you said this in your testimony, and I believe it was asked out in questions, but I just want to flush it out entirely.

Kayla Santosuosso

For CBOs and for providers who are concerned that maybe this merger would lead to a decrease in their funding, if a contractor or a provider is currently funded by NGBV, will they see any decrease in their funding as a result of this merger directly?

Kayla Santosuosso

We are not currently decreasing any funding.

Kayla Santosuosso

We are only in the space of increasing funding.

Kayla Santosuosso

Again, love to hear it.

Just wanted to flush it out for folks.
