The NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC) is excited to launch the second cycle of The People’s Money 2023/24 participatory budgeting process! All New Yorkers age 11 and up will be able to decide how to spend part of the city’s budget. Last year, the CEC ran this process for the first time in NYC history, inviting thousands of residents to submit ideas and ultimately vote on programs for their communities. Many thanks to all of the NYCHA leaders and residents who participated in 2022-23. See the funded programs from Cycle 1!

The Public Housing Community Fund in partnership with NYCHA and the CEC are kicking off Cycle 2 with Phase 1: Idea Generation. From October 10th to November 19th residents can submit ideas for projects to address community needs. Ideas can be submitted online via participate.nyc.gov or in-person at an idea generation session near you.
