NYC’s Preliminary Racial Equity Plan & True Cost of Living

The City is committed to implementing the Racial Justice Charter amendments thoughtfully and in the spirit of what New Yorkers voted for. The NYC Mayor’s Office for Equity & Racial Justice (MOERJ) has led a citywide effort to create the first-ever NYC Citywide Racial Equity Plan, while also advancing the NYC True Cost of Living Measure (TCOL).

Agencies across city government have been actively engaged in this work, forming racial equity planning teams, participating in full-day training workshops, and collaborating closely with MOERJ to develop agency-specific plans that contribute to a more equitable New York City.

We are excited to share the city’s first Preliminary Racial Equity Plan and TCOL with the public. Learn more and provide your input:
