As we wrap up the week, let's not overlook some of our most vulnerable neighbors.
The I/DD community and their workforce deserve our advocacy & support. Urge lawmakers to include the full 4% TII in the final NYS budget: https://t.co/Dg6cSB63sq

Our message is clear: funding for the I/DD care system must keep pace with demand. A full 4% TII is essential to sustain services, support staff, and ensure providers can continue to meet the needs of New Yorkers with I/DD. #InvestInUs
I/DD providers continue to face detrimental staffing shortages and rising operating costs.
A full 4% TII in the final New York State budget would help greatly alleviate the burden on providers, staff, and the I/DD community.

We may see a final New York State budget as soon as this week - meaning the time to act is now. A full 4% TII is imperative to stabilize I/DD services, support the workforce, and protect the progress providers have already made. #InvestInUs
Investments made last year are already making a difference, but without consistent funding, that progress is at risk. As New York lawmakers continue to debate the final budget, we urge our leadership to include a full 4% TII to stabilize the I/DD service system. #InvestInUs
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
Nonprofit provider agencies in New York support over 130,000 people with disabilities. Our staff is critical to creating a #StableCareSystem for all.

A Human Services Wage Commission could be the game-changer New York’s care system needs because supporting the people who care for others isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Every individual with I/DD deserves access to resources, services, and care. Underfunding and workforce shortages put essential supports at risk.
