Mayor Eric Adams wouldn’t immediately commit on Tuesday to the amount of funding that Queens City Council Member Tiffany Cabán is seeking for a new program providing survivors of domestic violence access to low-barrier housing grants that he signed into law.
The program – established through Intro. 153-A – directs the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV) to establish a program that offers micro-grants to survivors of domestic violence that can be put towards paying for housing, medical and legal expenses.
