Mayor Eric Adams and First Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro joined “Mornings On 1” Friday to break down the city’s $115 billion executive budget proposal.
Speaking at his alma mater in Queens Thursday, Adams outlined his priorities, including nearly $25 billion for affordable housing, $650 million to address street homelessness, and $331 million to expand after-school care.
The proposed budget also calls for about $3.5 billion for additional police officers and more than $5 billion in payments to city-contracted nonprofit providers.
