NY: New York City Mayor Proposes Investments in Foster Youth and Summer Jobs for Teens
Imprint – February 16, 2022
In an otherwise thrifty budget plan announced today, New York City Mayor Eric Adams pledged to invest millions of dollars in foster youth transitioning to adulthood and summer job opportunities for young people ages 14 to 24. Adams said his $98.5 billion budget proposal for the coming fiscal year focuses on equity, safety and justice for all New Yorkers, particularly the city’s youth. Although he proposed cuts to city agencies and a gradual reduction in the local workforce, the mayor proposes a 50% increase in the Summer Youth Employment Program – an increase from $157 to $236 million. The increased investment would expand the program to offer 100,000 jobs.
