Analysis: First Look at the 2023-24 Executive Budget

by | Feb 17, 2023 | Child Care, Child Poverty, Child Welfare, Early Care & Learning, Early Childhood Health, Health, Legislative

Schuyler Center’s First Look is an initial assessment of New York State’s 2023-24 proposed Executive Budget and how it advances priorities that improve the health and well-being of all New Yorkers, especially families impacted by poverty.

In 2022, New York State enacted the Child Poverty Reduction Act, committing the State to reducing child poverty by 50% in the coming decade with attention to racial equity. The law creates an expectation of public accounting for progress over time and assessment of budget actions with regard to their impacts on child poverty. We urge partners in and outside of government to systematically evaluate each and every budget decision as to its impact on child poverty and overall child and family well-being.
