Join Correct Crisis Intervention Today (CCIT) - NYC for a #PeersNotPolice Rally in advance of the City Council Committees on Health and Mental Health, Disabilities and Addiction budget hearing to advocate for investments in a peer-led, non-police mental health crisis response system in NYC!
Our FY26 budget request includes a baseline allocation of $4.5 million to ensure competitive
compensation for Peer Specialists staffing the city’s mental health crisis
response teams. This funding will also support the expansion of peer responders
within the B-HEARD program, strengthening the city’s capacity to provide
effective, community-centered crisis intervention.
