Council member Julie Menin has advocated for the expansion of the city council's management of housing assistance programs and budget in New York City. Separately, New York City announced the expansion of its free childcare program for 2-year-olds, adding 10,000 seats to 17 additional school districts, including all of the Bronx and Staten Island. The program will eventually serve 22 of the city's 32 school districts.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The expansion of the free 2-K childcare program is projected to save parents roughly $25,000 a year, according to the mayor. Julie Menin noted that 375,000 parents, primarily mothers, had left the workforce due to a lack of affordable childcare. The council's push for housing voucher expansion is part of efforts to lower costs and support residents in New York City.
