The NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC) is excited to launch the third cycle of The People’s Money 2024/25 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 past cycles. See the funded programs from Cycle 2 and Cycle 1

The Public Housing Community Fund in partnership with NYCHA and the CEC kicked off Cycle 3 with Phase 1: Idea Generation in October 2024, providing an opportunity for NYCHA residents to submit ideas for projects to address community needs.
