The People's Money - 4th Cycle

What is happening in the 4th Cycle of The People's Money?

Ballots are now finalized as we head into the Voting phase this spring! Soon, all New Yorkers will have the opportunity to help decide how to spend part of the city’s budget by casting their vote for the proposals they want to see implemented in their boroughs.

This winter, randomly selected New Yorkers from each borough came together for Borough Assemblies, where they reviewed eligible ideas and heard from community partners and city agencies to identify the projects that would make the greatest impact in their neighborhoods.

Funding Amount: $4 million from New York City's Expense Budget

What is The People’s Money?

The People’s Money (TPM) is a citywide participatory budgeting (PB) process where New Yorkers decide how to spend part of the city’s budget to help their communities thrive. This process happens every year and is open to all New Yorkers, including youth and immigrants.

How does The People’s Money work?

The People's Money consists of four phases and takes two years to complete. The first three phases run in one year, and the last phase, Project Implementation, runs in the second year.

First year:

• Idea Generation - Share your ideas!

• Borough Assemblies - Join an assembly and shape the ballot!

• Voting - Vote on what matters most to you!

Second year:

• Project Implementation - Where ideas come to life!
