SNAP is our nation's most effective anti-hunger program, helping nearly 3M NYers afford food each month.
But federal cuts are jeopardizing access to SNAP and NOEP, NY's community-based SNAP navigator network that helps families understand eligibility, apply, and keep benefits.
What is the reality right now for NYC families?
🏠 Rent taking up most of household income
🥫 Fewer groceries to get through the month
🍼 Child care costs that most families cannot afford
⚠️ Being one extra expense away from crisis

Thank you @SenatorBrouk. Carving mental health & substance use disorder services out of Medicaid managed care will help NY families & children access critical care with fewer delays & red tape! #fundcarenotredtape
NYers seeking mental health & addiction treatment deserve care without delays or barriers. That’s why I’m proud to sponsor S8309A, moving most behavioral health services to a fee-for-service model that puts patients before insurance company profits.
NEWS: After years of advocacy from Win & our partners, NYC is advancing key reforms championed by our organization to improve the process of moving families into affordable housing and reduce delays for families using CityFHEPS.

No child in the foster system should have to switch schools or miss school because NYC has failed to provide a way to get them there. We urge @NYCMayor to invest $3M to provide interim transportation for students waiting for @NYCSchools bus service.

Congress should be strengthening SNAP, not advancing a Farm Bill that leaves devastating cuts in place. Millions of people could lose benefits while states take on new administrative costs. Tell your Members to reject this bill: https://t.co/855xcC4TSv
NY leaders have committed to universal #childcare but we can’t get there without paying the workforce a livable wage. @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, @NYSA_Majority: include workforce compensation for early childhood educators in the final budget! https://t.co/85naW6JfIw
Nearly half a million New Yorkers will lose public health coverage in July '26 due to H.R. 1/federal legislation cuts. Without #NY State intervention, the impact this will have on children is difficult to overstate. See the data: https://t.co/qXaNLkfygD #FederalCuts#HealthCare
