On June 26 2026 Mayor Mamdani announced a $15 million allocation for gender-affirming care for transgender youth.
Health Commissioner Ashwin Martin said the city will open a direct clinic for patients 19 and older and add a call-and-text line and research support due to federal clawbacks.
The $15 million, below the $65 million promised, will go to providers to fill gaps after NYU Langone and Mt. Sinai ended youth programs, though EITM said distribution details are unknown.
