[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

On a daily basis, care workers and family caregivers do the important work of taking care of our children, parents, and those we love most.

We acted to increase access to care and support caregivers.

Because it's time we give our caregivers the dignity they give our loved ones.

[Thomas P. DiNapoli @NYSComptroller]

Unemployment rates are higher for New Yorkers with disabilities than the national rate. To fix this, NY should address barriers to equal employment and invest in measures to level the playing field.

Advocates from @NYAIL and NY's independent living centers were in the Capitol today, calling on lawmakers and @GovKathyHochul to give ILCs the same cost-of-living adjustment that other human services providers will get in the state budget. To support us: https://t.co/OYSf3lIDG1

Senate, Assembly budget proposals include more funding for Access to Home, which pays for ramps, bathroom mods etc. This is crucial to AIM's work to transition (or divert) people from nursing homes! We hope it makes the final deal. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins

[Senator Rachel May (RachelMayNY.bsky.social) @RachelMayNY]

I was proud to vote for the Senate budget resolution today, which gets us closer to true Fair Pay for home care workers. It raises their pay to $5 above minimum wage and assures that money goes to the workers, not big insurance companies.

[AIM Independent Living Center @AIMCIL]

The Senate and Assembly just released their state budget proposals, their response to Gov. Hochul's budget plan. Here's a rundown on what they contained re: priorities for independent living centers. The final agreement will be hashed out over the next 2 weeks.

NYAIL budget thread
IL Funding: both houses did not include $2m increase in their one house budgets. They both included 8.5% COLA for human services which doesn't include IL because we are in the State Education budget.

Please fill out this survey for the state Office for the Aging. It will help guide many important services available through local agencies such as AIM. We partner with the Office for the Aging to offer programs such as NY Connects and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program.

[NYSOFA @NYSAGING]

NYSOFA Director Greg Olsen has an important ask. If you are 60+, please participate today in the state’s first-ever comprehensive survey of older adults and their needs: https://t.co/pt5e7dnYIn.

Access to Home helps people build ramps, make bathrooms accessible, and other home modifications. It allows people with disabilities to stay in their homes, and to transition out of nursing homes back into the community.

[New York Association on Independent Living @NYAIL]

Visit our action center to send a message, call, and tweet a message to your elected representatives. Ask them to include $10 million in state funding for Access to Home and share your story of why home modifications are so important.

[New York Association on Independent Living @NYAIL]

We need you to reach out to your state representatives in support of a $2 million increase for ILCs statewide. ILCs are currently not being included in increases based on costs of living. Visit our action center to share your IL story today! #SupportILCsNY
