Southern Brooklyn pol seeks free diapers for babies in shelters
Advocates for victims of domestic violence came out in force to testify at a City Council hearing on a bill that would provide free diapers to children of families in shelters and city-run facilities.
The legislation, introduced by Councilmember Mark Treyger, would require the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to provide free diapers at domestic violence shelters, childcare centers and other service providers.
The bill was the subject of a joint hearing by the council’s Committees on Women and Government Operations on June 19.
