City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams emphasized the significance of the NYCHA unarmed security guard program, stating, "The program is invaluable to residents' well-being and safety. The Council was proud to fight alongside our seniors to secure a full funding restoration of the mayor's cuts to this critical program, because our seniors remain a top priority for us."
Council Member Justin Brannan criticized the previous funding cuts, stating they "made zero sense" and welcomed the restoration as evidence of the Council's commitment to senior safety across the boroughs.
Council Member Crystal Hudson described the funding cuts as "reckless," emphasizing that they endangered the lives of the city’s vulnerable residents.
Council Member Chris Banks noted that the safety and security of residents should not be just a number, saying, "The restoration of this funding is crucial, as it acknowledges the importance of securing the well-being of all NYCHA residents."
