Welcome to "This Robin Hood Moment" with your host Crystal Cooper. January marks the beginning of the budgeting process for New York State and City, crucial for funding essential services and programs. Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams recently unveiled their proposed budgets, sparking intense analysis and advocacy. Join us as we delve into the implications for fighting poverty in NYC with Robin Hood’s Chief Public Policy Officer, Jason Cone.
In this episode, we explore how state and city budgets serve as tools in the fight against poverty; key proposals aligning with Robin Hood’s mission, including healthcare advocacy to alleviate financial burdens on New Yorkers; gaps between proposed allocations and the critical needs of struggling New Yorkers; influential factors shaping this year's budget outcome, such as economic forecasts and allocations for addressing the migrant crisis.
