Play Your Part:
Your Money,
Your Community,
Your Vote!
The People's Money is New York City's annual citywide Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative where community members decide how to spend part of the city's budget. Every year New Yorkers vote to decide what projects to implement in their communities.
We invite you to submit your ideas for what you would like to see implemented in your borough! Idea Generation is open from October 10 to November 24, 2024 (deadline extended).

Project Implementation (2022-23)
The 2022-23 cycle is now in Phase 4: Project Implementation! The CEC is working closely with contracted partners to implement funded projects over the course of the year to ensure they are supported, projects are effectively monitored, and are completed successfully. As partners are selected, they will be added to this site where New Yorkers can follow the progress of projects being implemented in their communities.
