Nadeau Requests Ward 1 Investments in Next Budget

Councilmember Nadeau submitted the first of two budget letters to the Mayor with requests that she include funding for various Ward 1 projects and laws that impact the ward. They include funding for safety improvements, a library, recreation center improvements, and implementation of the street vendor and domestic worker rights laws.

The Councilmember will submit a second budget letter soon with requests for citywide programs she’d like to see the Mayor include in her budget. 

The Mayor will submit her proposed 2023-24 budget to the Council on March 22, after which the Council will hold numerous hearings, take public feedback, ask executive agencies to explain how they will use their budgets, and make revisions and vote on a final budget, likely in late May.

Let’s plug some budget gaps

In my final Committee budget as a Councilmember, we were able to send funds to every other committee to help fill gaps in the safety net created by the Mayor’s proposal, including to support more people in temporary housing, and to expand food access, wellness for seniors, and programming for teens. We found ways to take small actions, such as licensing and building code changes, to effect big results, like building more housing and speeding up business contracting issues.

Supporting life-saving care & expanding food access

Even when faced with these financial pressures, we can still find ways to support some of our most vulnerable communities. I am excited to see funding for so many critical programs and supports, including the millions for the crisis response programs, school-based behavioral health, remote patient monitoring during pregnancy, chronic illness screenings for uninsured residents, and medical debt mitigation.

Prioritizing affordable housing

I believe I’ve been able to contribute funding to affordable housing vouchers in every single budget I’ve worked on as Councilmember. Given that this is the last Housing Committee budget I will be voting on, there’s no way I was going to break that streak now, even in a tight budget. The need for residents is just too great, and I hope that Council will continue to carry this torch in years to come.
