New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday celebrated another year of making New York City safer, cleaner, and more affordable for hardworking New Yorkers, as indicated by the latest Mayor’s Management Report (MMR) for Fiscal Year 2024 — a report assessing city agency performance for all of Fiscal Year 2023, from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024. The report shows significant improvements in the areas New Yorkers care about most — public safety, housing, affordability, and quality of life.
“New Yorkers elected this administration because they wanted a safer, more affordable city, and this year’s MMR shows that we’re continuing to deliver exactly that,” said Mayor Adams. “We are moving full-speed-ahead on our initiatives to get illegal guns, illegal mopeds, and black trash bags off the streets; breaking housing record after housing record; and helping put billions of dollars back into the pockets of working-class New Yorkers — and residents of the five boroughs are seeing the results. New York City isn’t just coming back, and it’s not just back — thanks to our administration, it’s better than ever.”
“The latest MMR highlights the significant strides we’ve made in making New York City safer, more affordable, and a better place to live,” said First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright. “This year, we’ve seen unprecedented reductions in crime, and groundbreaking improvements in housing and affordability. I am proud to be a part of an administration that remains focused on delivering results that enhance the quality of life for every New Yorker.”
“Our North Star has always been building a safer, more affordable city, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” said Chief Advisor Ingrid P. Lewis-Martin. “We, however, are not resting on our laurels: building more housing — and not just housing but affordable housing — creating more jobs, initiating programs such as ‘Money in Your Pocket’ to do exactly that, and so much more.”
“We are committed to data-driven strategies that ensure efficient, effective, and timely services for all New Yorkers. Every day, this administration works to address the issues that matter most, striving to make the city safer, more affordable, and more inclusive” said Chief of Staff Camille Joseph Varlack. “We’ve increased availability to affordable housing, had greater participation in youth programs, invested in public health programs, and so much more. We’ve made significant progress, but the work doesn’t stop. We’re going to continue to show up for New Yorkers, every single day.”
“This administration dedicates itself, among many other things, to safe, quality, affordable housing; getting New Yorkers into quality jobs with family-sustaining wages; support for small businesses; putting money in New Yorkers’ pockets, and this MMR proves again that we’re surpassing our goals,” said Deputy Mayor for Housing, Economic Development and Workforce Maria Torres-Springer. “We have to improve life for New Yorkers on every possible level, and we’re doing what the mayor has always directed us to do: get stuff done.”
“As individuals and families continue to navigate life, they expect their government to work. Over the last year, we continue to do that work and deliver across our portfolios,” said Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom. “In the health arena, we’ve enrolled more people in NYC Care and in Medicaid, both foundational supports to give more people access to the health care they need. Additionally, we moved 13 percent more single adults and 42 percent more families with children from shelter to permanent housing. Over the coming year, we will continue to build on efforts across the administration to help every New Yorker thrive.”
“Investment in shared streets and parks is more than just nice to have; it is proof that our city cares about your lived experience no matter your zip code,” said Deputy Mayor for Operations Meera Joshi. “From planting record numbers of trees to installing more safety infrastructure on our streets and keeping our parks and public bathrooms in working shape for working people, we’re delivering a better, safer, cleaner city for all New Yorkers.”
“New York City is safe and continues to move in the right direction,” said Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Philip Banks III. “People are safe and feel safe. From major crime to the ever-important quality of life issues, like illegal cannabis shops and ghost cars, the city is making significant progress. Jails are safer for not just the people in custody but for the officers and visitors. We are better prepared for emergencies. We thank all New Yorkers who work hand-in-hand with this administration and will continue to work together as one team to deliver on safety.”
“Every young person in our city, and their families, deserve access to high-quality, inclusive support. I am committed to ensuring our policies and programs embody this commitment,” said Deputy Mayor for Strategic Initiatives Ana J. Almanzar. “As New York City advances in revitalization, our administration is dedicated to equipping young people with essential tools and resources. Our achievements this year, including improved and increased access to child care and a strong summer youth employment program, underscore our commitment to valuing investment in our youth, which is the future of our city.”
