@leahfrombklyn At 45 and 38 respectively, my husband and I are finally in a position to buy our first house. And I’m looking at multifamily options so that my mom will have a place to live when she can’t work anymore. All while paying $43K on daycare for my two kids. It’s all so grim

☀️Good morning, @NYCSpeakerAdams @NYCMayor and @NYCCouncil! ☀️As you arrive to work this morning, I hope you see all the nonprofit leaders who were up all night fighting for #JustPay for their workers. Show you care as much as we do. Fund the 6.5% COLA and multi year deal!

[Darren Bloch @darrenbloch]

It should tell you something that @HSC_NY nonprofit execs are still turning out at 1am and #UpAllNight to get @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil @NYCSpeakerAdams.

Help us #JustPay our nyc contracted colleagues and teams!?

What keeps us up at night!? The #JustPay fight!

That’s why nonprofit leaders are staying up all night for #JustPay TOMORROW outside City Hall. We won’t stop until @NYCMayor funds a 6.5% COLA and multi-year deal for human services workers!

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

Nonprofit workers have earned our city's support. @NYCSpeakerAdams, we're counting on you to include a 6.5% COLA in this year's budget and 16.5% increase over the next 3 years. It's time to give human services workers the #JustPay they deserve.

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

Through crisis after crisis, workers at our member organizations have kept New York City going. They've had New York's back - and now, it's time for New York to have theirs. @NYCSpeakerAdams MUST fight for #JustPay and include a COLA in this year's budget.

@thechosenberg So basically all of us parents of under 5s are f*****. I can’t remember the last time I finished a cup of coffee while it was still hot

“We shouldn’t be coming back year after year. ... We shouldn’t have to fight for this. You have to be giving people money to be able to live.”@MHANYSCEO @MHAacrossNYS in @timesunion. We need an 8.5% COLA! @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority @theNetworkNY https://t.co/cIji6H4LiQ

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

Essential human services workers are still vastly underpaid, resulting in huge staffing shortages, impacting vulnerable NYers. The state needs to #JustPay this critical workforce with an 8.5% COLA to begin addressing this unfair gap. @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority @theNetworkNY

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

@NYSenate @NYSA_Majority @theNetworkNY No one can build supportive housing where it’s most needed with the current seven-year-old rates! INCREASE ESSHI! #savesupportivehousing #supportivehousingsaveslives @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority @theNetworkNY

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

Sharp increases in the costs of land, labor, materials + interest rates, have eaten away at the 7 yr old Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI) rate. The state needs to increase the per unit ESSHI rate to meet the needs of today.@NYSenate @NYSA_Majority @theNetworkNY

"Supportive housing is a proven model that works. It’s time for the governor and state lawmakers to provide it with the sustainable, 21st-century funding it requires." Kevin O'Connor @JosephsHouse_74 in @timesunion. @NYSenate @NYSA_Majority SAVE NYSSHP! https://t.co/WMA7s6MTJg

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

Scott mentions the staff turnover in supportive housing and how hard it is to build trust with someone and then have them leave. This is a critical facet of the staffing crisis in human services. Poverty wages and staff burnout impacts services

The Health & Housing Consortium is proud to sign onto this letter to @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins to #IncreaseCashAssistance Now!
New Yorkers rely on these benefits to support themselves and their families. Raise the allowance to FMR to lift these New Yorkers out of poverty

[New Destiny Housing @newdestinyorg]

We signed-on the letter calling on @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins to #IncreaseCashAssistance! Today, the median monthly rent in NYC is $3,267, yet a single mother with 2 children residing in Manhattan is only receiving a shelter allowance of $400 per month. We need change now!

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins “Increasing the basic needs allowance to keep pace with inflation and increasing the maximum rent allowance for cash assistance recipients to the HUD FMR will help lift affected New Yorkers out of deep poverty…”

#IncreaseCashAssistance Now!

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

The NY State budget for fiscal year 2023-2024 will soon be finalized and we’re making another push to get increases to the outdated cash assistance benefits bills included in each one house bill. See the sign-on letter below @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins

[Bonnie Mohan @BonnieMohan]

@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins The current cash amounts are simply not enough to provide for someone’s basic needs says Safety Net Activists and cash assistance recipients – Dinick Martinez & Ethel Brown.
