Mamdani Budget Includes $1.77 Billion in Agency Savings Through 'Chief Savings Officers' Program

The mayor ordered every agency to appoint Chief Savings Officers who identified $1.77 billion in gap-closing savings across fiscal years 2026-2027. Additional savings come from addressing inefficiencies in programs like CityFHEPS housing vouchers and special education services, plus pension payment restructuring that delays obligations until 2037.
