      Council Member Althea Stevens questions DYCD officials about funding for LGBTQ+ youth services and the timeline for paying providers for FY 2024 summer programming. DYCD representatives respond by discussing their current budget allocation and efforts to address payment issues.

      • DYCD has no specific additional funding for LGBTQ+ youth services beyond their existing budget
      • FY 2025 SYEP awards have been released, with providers able to budget and submit invoices
      • DYCD is issuing advances up to 80% for Compass and Beacon portfolios to improve cash flow
      • DYCD encourages providers facing cash flow issues to reach out for assistance
