Fiscal Year 2017 Discretionary Contracts

DYCD and other City agencies administer Discretionary contract funds. Discretionary funds are funds that non-profit, community-based social service providers use to meet the needs of local communities. The funds are allocated by the Members of the New York City Council. Below you will find the Discretionary contracts and information on the Discretionary contract process.
