Happy Pride Month!
It is my privilege to introduce the New York City Comptroller’s Office 2026 edition of the LGBTQIA+ Resource Guide, a comprehensive directory of organizations and services dedicated to supporting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual individuals who call our city home.
This guide reflects our Office's continued commitment to uplifting LGBTQIA+ communities by ensuring access to essential services, affirming healthcare, legal protections, and inclusive spaces for all New Yorkers.
Attacks on LGBTQIA+ rights, particularly the rights of transgender and nonbinary people, continue to shape the national landscape. Efforts to restrict access to gender-affirming care, limit protections for transgender youth, censor LGBTQIA+ voices in schools and public institutions, and undermine anti-discrimination safeguards have created uncertainty and fear for many members of our community. LGBTQIA+ immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees also face unique challenges as they seek safety, stability, and opportunity.
As the birthplace of the modern LGBTQIA+ rights movement and home to one of the largest LGBTQIA+ populations in the world, our city has a responsibility to defend the dignity, safety, and humanity of all LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and reject efforts to marginalize or erase any member of our community.
That means ensuring people know how to get housing, healthcare, mental health services, legal assistance, workforce development opportunities, and community support.
The organizations listed within this guide are on the front lines of this fight every day, providing lifesaving support, advocating for justice, and ensuring LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers can find welcoming spaces in times of need great and small. Their work strengthens our city and creates the conditions for equity, inclusion, and community to thrive. Our office is proud to support and amplify their efforts.
As Comptroller, I remain all in on this fight alongside LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers and allies. My office will continue to stand against policies threatening the health, safety, and rights, and well-being of LGBTQIA+ communities, and work towards real equity so that all New Yorkers, regardless of background, identity, or orientation are afforded access to vital resources and opportunities throughout New York City. Every New Yorker deserves to live with dignity, respect, and the freedom to be their authentic self.
We hope you will find this edition of the LGBTQIA+ Resource Guide to be a valuable resource and encourage you to share it with colleagues, friends, family members, and neighbors. Together, we can continue building a city where everyone is welcomed and can thrive.
In solidarity,
NYC Comptroller Mark Levine
