New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene<\/a> and will support community-based organizations that offer an array of inclusive, responsive\u00a0and affirming services to TGNCNB New Yorkers that meet urgent community needs, including services related to health and wellness, legal advocacy, youth and family support, safety and crisis response, community building and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n\u201cActions by the federal government to reduce access to critical, evidence-based health care for transgender and gender-nonconforming people is unconscionable,\u201d said DOHMH Acting Commissioner Dr. Michelle Morse. \u201cSupporting New York’s community organizations that provide lifesaving services and are eligible for the emergency funds is a key part of the Health Department’s commitment to supporting the health and well-being of all New Yorkers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Up to $92,000 will be made available to approximately 20 experienced organizations that are positioned to continue delivering these services in 2026. The funds may be used for program purposes \u2014 including personnel, travel, supplies, and services \u2014 and the majority of clients served with these funds should be TGNCNB individuals.<\/p>\n
Many community-based organizations that offer affirming services to transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary New Yorkers are under significant strain as they grapple with growing demand, funding uncertainty, shifting policies, and threats to the rights and safety of their staff and clients, officials said.<\/p>\n
