Mamdani Looks to Expand Access to 'Gender-Affirming' Care with $15 Million Investment of Taxpayer Funds

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is looking to make good on his campaign promise to invest $65 million in taxpayer funds toward expanding access to "gender-affirming care" in the Big Apple.

"As a first step, my administration has made a $15 million investment in gender-affirming care over the next two years, and we will continue to use every tool at our disposal to make sure every trans and gender non-conforming New Yorker can live with the dignity, safety and freedom they deserve," Mamdani said at a Pride month celebration Tuesday. "The threats will continue and so will our relentless protection of trans people across this city."
