Gov. Kathy Hochul on Nov. 3 issued a proclamation declaring November Transgender Awareness Month.
The Hochul administration earlier this year announced $1 million in new funding for suicide prevention programs to support trans, gender non-conforming and non-binary youth in New York. As of Nov. 3, she announced, the Office of Mental Health is accepting grant proposals for the funds, which are an expansion of the Lorena Borjas Transgender Wellness and Equity Fund.
