[Living Resources NY @LivResourcesNY]

This week is critical for the New York State budget, and the TII is actively being discussed. Providers supporting the I/DD community are facing rising costs and staffing shortages amidst growing demand.

#InvestInUs

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

Turnover in the I/DD workforce is costly. DSPs develop personal and meaningful relationships with the individuals they care for. Recruiting and training new staff requires time and resources, and new care workers are not an easy transition. We must support the workforce with increased funding to avoid this.

Thank you @PatriciaFahy46!!!

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

Thank you @PatriciaFahy46 for staying focused on the I/DD community and the housing crisis DSPs face.

Your support for including the full 4% TII in the final budget recognizes how critical DSPs are to people with I/DD, their families, and the service system.

[Living Resources NY @LivResourcesNY]

Across NYS, providers and DSPs work tirelessly every day to support people with I/DD, but the system remains strained without sustained investment.

New Yorkers with I/DD deserve stable services, and the workforce behind them deserves sustained resources.

As we enter the final stages of NY budget decisions, lawmakers must build on the progress over the past few years by including a full 4% TII in the final budget.

Without a 4% TII, nonprofit providers can’t sustain essential I/DD services.

And we know: investment works.
⬇️ 44% DSP vacancies
⬇️ 6% turnover
⬆️ 28.6% starting wages

Don’t lose this progress. Fund a full 4% TII.

The NYS Budget needs to include a full 4% TII to adequately invest in staff and vital services for folks w/ IDD!

[Living Resources NY @LivResourcesNY]

Behind every I/DD service is a workforce making independence possible.

That system is under strain.

NY’s final budget must include a full 4% TII to stabilize services, support staff, and prevent disruptions.

[Living Resources NY @LivResourcesNY]

DSPs are essential to the I/DD community, and they need our support. That's why we're calling on New York legislators to expand workforce support for childcare, healthcare, and housing. A little extra help can make a world of difference!

We need our NYS Legislature to push for a 2.7% inflationary rate increase investment!

[New York Disability Advocates @NYDisabilityAdv]

DSPs help provide a sense of stability and independence to thousands of New Yorkers who live with disabilities. New York must invest in both members of the I/DD community and their support teams.

Fabulous first person story of a journey toward freedom and independence! Love my job!

Go Ajani! ❤️

[Living Resources NY @LivResourcesNY]

Ajani’s story is a reminder of why we do what we do. From 24/7 supervision to an independent life filled with "more freedom," Ajani is now flourishing as a worker, resident, and dreamer.
