We’re so focused on the 4% TII for mental health & substance abuse disorders that we’re getting tunnel vision! ACL again joined fellow NYS behavioral health advocates down at the Capitol today where we urged legislators to include a 4%TII in the 2026-2027 budget! #bringithomenys
Mental health care delayed is mental health care denied. Proud to stand w/ advocates & providers demanding passage of my bill, A8055, to carve out behavioral health services from Medicaid Managed Care. New Yorkers should not have to fight endless red tape to access care.
What does a “good day” look like to you? For some, it’s feeling safe. For others, it’s support, connection, stability, or a place to call home. #mentalhealth looks different for everyone & access to housing can make more good days possible. #BringItHomeNYS#MentalHealthMonth
