As we wrap up the week, let's not overlook some of our most vulnerable neighbors.
The I/DD community & their workforce deserve advocacy & support

Our message is clear: funding for the I/DD care system must keep pace w/demand. A full 4% TII is essential to sustain services, support staff, & ensure providers continue to meet needs of NYers w/ I/DD.
Tell your legislators to include the full 4% TII: bit.ly/4tm0hhk

I/DD providers face detrimental staffing shortages & rising operating costs.
A 4% TII in the final NYS budget would alleviate the burden on providers, staff, & the I/DD community.
