City funding for Lyon-MartinAs the B.A.R. previously reported, Lyon-Martin's parent organization, HealthRIGHT 360, announced earlier this year it would have to cut back on the number of people served by the clinic because it has generated significant financial losses.
Lyon-Martin primarily serves low-income trans women. In April, Mandelman secured a deal to provide city funding to keep Lyon-Martin open at its present location.
Now, an add-back would provide $1.2 million for Lyon-Martin this budget year and another in the next. "The Lyon-Martin investment is especially important to me because it is such an integral institution for our community," Mandelman said.
