Cerebral Palsy of Westchester

Governor Kathy Hochul released her Executive Budget Proposal and the picture she paints for the future of nonprofits like ours is grim. If enacted, nonprofit providers of supports and services for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities will receive a mere 1.5% cost of living increase, which is NOT ENOUGH. Please participate in the “One-Click” communication campaign and tell our State Officials to support the salaries for our DSP's and the services we provide for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. There is strength in numbers, so it is crucial that you participate. https://lnkd.in/dq9zTQen Thank you for your support!

Take action today! Follow this link to NY Disability Advocate’s “one-click-tool” to send a message to Governor Hochul – prioritizing direct care workers in the 2024 NYS budget. Systemic underfunding has caused a critical staffing crises and eroded supports for people living with disabilities. Your action WILL make a difference.
