Council Member Kristy Marmorato inquires about the $2 million budget for the veteran outreach campaign, specifically asking if it comes from the Department of Veterans Services' $5 million budget. Commissioner James Hendon clarifies that it's a separate engagement commitment.
- The $2 million is part of a democracy NYC initiative
- It's managed by a separate agency, not the Department of Veterans Services
- This clarification alleviates concerns about the impact on the DVS budget

Does that $2,000,000 come out of your $5,000,000 budget, or is that separation

separate that's a separate engagement commitment.
0:43:35
It's a democracy NYC initiative.
0:43:37
And so that's a separate agency that runs that.
