'What you see is us working off of fumes.' On the campaign trail, Mayor Adams said he would find $500 million in savings to redirect toward violence prevention programs. NYC’s Crisis Management System is funded at $100 million—the same level as last year.
But in his first budget as mayor, Adams and the City Council kept funding flat for the Crisis Management System. The current $100 million allocation will remain the same as last year, according to a City Hall spokesperson. After expanding to several new precincts in the last fiscal year, it’s unclear which – if any – neighborhoods will be next in line for the program.
Several pointed to Canarsie as an instructive example. The neighborhood was among the first to welcome an NYPD anti-gun unit unveiled by Adams earlier this year. But more than two years after Mayor Bill de Blasiohe would open a crisis management site in the Brooklyn neighborhood, the city has yet to set it up.K. Bain, executive director of the anti-violence group Community Capacity Development
After the Bloomberg administration put $20 million into the program, Bain said he spent years leaning on de Blasio to properly fund the system. The pressure has paid off, he said, bringing national attention to the program, while helping to combat a rise in shooting. But even as officials praise the policing alternative, the city’s system remains plagued by procurement and contracting issues that frequently get in the way of the work, according to several violence interrupters.
He noted that in the previous fiscal year, under de Blasio, the city expanded the crisis management program into 61 schools, 4 hospitals and several new precincts. Allon did not respond to a question about whether the city is targeting new precincts for the upcoming fiscal year.
