    The decrease in IDNYC cards issued and the program's budget for fiscal 2024 remains unexplained by MOIA, which defers to the Department of Social Services (DSS) for answers.

    • IDNYC cards issued and application processing have decreased in the first four months of fiscal 2024.
    • The preliminary budget for IDNYC has been reduced by $1 million compared to the adopted budget.
    • The Mayor's Office for Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) continues to support outreach efforts for IDNYC, despite being unable to explain budget decreases.
    • The MOIA works closely with DSS to ensure outreach in various communities for longer-term immigrant New Yorkers struggling to access IDNYC.
