New York City Council · Oct 27, 2026 · starts 2:45:15 · 2 min 2 sec

Stevens asks for funding details for each program in the administration's announcement, including units of appropriation and budget codes. Administration witnesses give amounts for Families Rising, Exalt, Fortune Society, and Center for Community Alternatives, and say contracts will be backdated to October 1 and appear in the November plan.

Althea V. Stevens

The administration announces new investments, including expanding alternative to detention incarceration plan and non-secure.

Althea V. Stevens

Can you outline the funding for each program mentioned in this press release and each agency's budget, including units of appropriation and budget codes?

Unidentified speaker

Yes.

Unidentified speaker

So as we've talked about before, the Families Rising program is one of those.

Unidentified speaker

There's an additional $344,000 that's being put into that, taking that budget from approximately $1.6 million to $2 million for the Families Rising program.

Unidentified speaker

The budget code for that is 6020.

Unidentified speaker

Then the EXALT program, sorry, was there another question beyond budget code or?

Althea V. Stevens

Including unit appropriation.

Unidentified speaker

Unit appropriation for that one is 006.

Unidentified speaker

So the EXALT program has an additional $412,000 per year.

Unidentified speaker

That's taking it from approximately $1.1 million to $1.5 million.

Unidentified speaker

Unit of appropriation, again, 006 and budget code 6020.

Unidentified speaker

We have also included in that investment that was announced, Fortune Society.

Unidentified speaker

which has an additional roughly $800,000 that was added to its budget for in-custody transitional programming as well as in-community reentry programming.

Unidentified speaker

And the unit and the budget code remain the same for both of those, for both Fortune and then the Center for Community Alternatives, which had an additional $618,000 added to it,

Unidentified speaker

that all will be backdated in their contracts to October 1st.

Althea V. Stevens

When were those resources added to the budget and will we see adjustments related to the announcement in the November plan?

Unidentified speaker

Yes, according to OMB, they will be in the November plan.

Unidentified speaker

They are added to Mach J's budget as the contracts are registered.
