Impact of the New York City FY 2013 Executive Budget Proposal on Women, Children and Families

June 18, 2012. This report prepared for the New York Women’s Foundation shows that the budget cuts proposed in the Mayors Executive Budget fail to respond to heightened needs and jeopardize the outlook for economic improvement and security for many low-income women and their families. The proposed cuts and funding shortfalls increase the risk of poverty in two ways: by destabilizing those already struggling, and by reducing opportunities to move out of poverty. Reducing the reliance on spending cuts to balance the budget will mitigate the painful human tradeoffs.
