For decades, New York state has not made adequate investments to sustain the essential programs and services people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) rely on. This systemic underfunding has driven us into a critical staffing crisis and eroded the core of New York’s system of supports for its citizens with disabilities.
Since the fall, advocates have rallied, sent letters, called, and met with legislators. Through your hard work and diligence, both NYS Senate and Assembly one-house budgets include our full request for a 7.8% increase!
We are not done yet! As we move into the final stretch of the budget process and negotiations, we must urge state leaders and ensure these critical investments are fully realized in the Enacted Budget due April 1.
The 7.8% must be non-negotiable!
