New York Mayor Eric Adams highlighted $6.7 million in funding to provide new and expanded social services for the city’s LGBTQ community, saying the outlay is “a call to action” during Pride Month.
The initiative includes $1.5 million for promoting education of families around acceptance of LGBTQ youth and $3 million for programs to support runaway and homeless young people. Additional funding will go toward programs to battle HIV and legal services for LGBTQ people. The money was included in the record $101.1 billion budget approved by the mayor and city council last week.
