In the preliminary plan DOHMH's fiscal twenty twenty six budget for health services is $283,100,000 an increase of nearly $5,000,000 from adoption.

How much funding do you anticipate DOHMH will receive from the New York State fiscal twenty twenty six enacted budget minus the Article six which we're hoping for?

Thank you for that question.

Our partners in the state fund us about a third of our budget is funding from the state.

About half of that is mental hygiene related state aid, and our expectation is that our funding for the new fiscal year from the state will be similar to this current year.

However, our sincerest and strongest hope is that Article six match is restored and that we have the money that the state owes us to continue our public health activities in the best way we can.
