Voting has started for The People’s Money, NYC’s citywide participatory budgeting (PB) process!

From May 1st through June 12th, New Yorkers age 11 and up, regardless of immigration status, can decide how to spend $3.5M of city funds on projects in their community.

Last year, in the first People’s Money process, New Yorkers voted to fund 46 expense projects for a total of $5M in mayoral funds. The projects address a wide range of community needs, including mental health, food safety, youth programming, skills building and arts.

The People’s Money is the only citywide process utilizing mayoral expense funding; from 2011, select NYC Council Members have opted into a similar process wherein their district residents can vote on how to spend their own discretionary funding. Expense funding can be used for projects and services, and the citywide process allows all New Yorkers to participate, regardless of the council district they live in.
