Eligibility audits at two agencies account for $113M of the $246M in savings, the largest of the five categories

The savings identified across all 16 agency Chief Savings Officer reports, FY26 and FY27 combined, grouped by the primary lever each agency used. Hover a slice to isolate its agencies.

FY27 carries $196.5M of the $246M in savings, and FY26 accounts for the other $49.6M

The same five categories split by fiscal year. Eligibility audits land entirely in FY27, because both the health-plan and co-op abatement reviews start that year.

Categorization methodology: Each agency is assigned to its primary savings lever. DSS ($12.7M) is categorized under contract termination due to the McKinsey contract cancellation, though its plan also includes IT in-sourcing and WiFi revenue. H+H ($39.8M) is categorized under contract renegotiation (the dominant mechanism); its plan also includes staffing and revenue improvements. FDNY ($13M) is categorized under revenue & billing as Medicaid billing is the largest FY27 driver.
