As we wrap up the week, let's not overlook some of our most vulnerable neighbors. The I/DD community and their workforce deserve our advocacy and support. Join us in reminding lawmakers the importance of including the full 4% TII in the final NYS budget: bit.ly/4tm0hhk
31
Our message is clear: funding for the I/DD care system must keep pace with demand. A full 4% TII is essential to sustain services, support staff, and ensure providers can continue to meet the needs of New Yorkers with I/DD. Tell your legislators here: bit.ly/4tm0hhk

I/DD providers continue to face detrimental staffing shortages and rising operating costs. A full 4% TII in the final NYS budget would help alleviate the burden on providers, staff, and the I/DD community. We urge lawmakers to include the full 4% TII: bit.ly/4tm0hhk
28
We may see a final NYS budget as soon as this week. A full 4% TII is imperative to stabilize I/DD services, support the workforce, and protect the progress providers have already made. Please join us in reminding our legislators to keep the progress going: bit.ly/4tm0hhk

Investments made last year are already making a difference. Without consistent funding, that progress is at risk. As NYS lawmakers continue to debate the final budget, we urge our leadership to include a full 4% TII to stabilize the I/DD service system: bit.ly/4tm0hhk
37
This week is critical for the NYS budget, and the TII is actively being discussed. Providers supporting the I/DD community are facing rising costs and staffing shortages. Please tell your legislators they must include the full 4% TII in the final budget: bit.ly/4tm0hhk
