What happened
New York awarded $42 million for the Youth Employment Program, which provides paid jobs and training for at least 2,500 young people in communities outside New York City affected by gun violence. The funding, which runs from September 2026 through June 2027, increased by $1.4 million compared to the previous year due to higher minimum wages. The Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance will distribute the funds to local social services departments.

Why it matters
