Access Future Is Selected to Host Tier 4 “Single Idea Generation Workshop” as Part of The People's

 Organized by the NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC), The People's Money is a groundbreaking initiative that empowers New Yorkers to have a direct say in how public funds are allocated. Through a process known as Participatory Budgeting, community members from across the city gather to brainstorm, propose, and vote on ideas that improve their neighborhoods and benefit the entire city. 

 Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process where community members decide how to spend part of a public budget. In New York City, the 2024–2025 Participatory Budgeting cycle offers a chance for residents to generate and vote on proposals that tackle local needs. Ideas can range from infrastructure improvements to social programs that strengthen the community.
