Summary
$15 million over two years would go to gender-affirming care under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s latest pledge, unveiled during a Pride Month event as part of his push to expand LGBTQ+ services.
Mamdani framed the funding as a response to threats facing trans and gender non-conforming New Yorkers, saying the city would use every tool available to protect them.
City officials have not detailed where the money would come from or how it would be distributed, with New York City Council still considering the 2027 budget.
The plan would go beyond similar programs in cities such as San Francisco by directly funding procedures, but it is far below the $65 million Mamdani promised during his campaign.
