“This legislation will help ensure that nonprofits receive funding in a timely manner. … At a time when demand for services continues to grow, and federal funding remains uncertain, New York must be a reliable and responsible partner.” — @ShelleyBMayer https://t.co/ds3EAjZPS1
Glad to join @GovKathyHochul today in the signing of the NYS Budget @TheBlakeAnnex, and to have the opportunity to thank the Governor for her investment in NYS children & families.
Loved attending St. Anne Institute’s ribbon cutting for their new Crisis Residence, which will offer immediate and therapeutic intervention close to home for kids aged 12-17 experiencing trauma and mental health issues.
There’s a mental health crisis among our youth. Expanding services, treatment, and therapies is how we meet the moment, support families, and invest in positive outcomes.
⬇️ always an honor to work together with @AndrewHevesi on addressing important issues like these. Read on for solutions-focused approaches to supporting nonprofit foster care programs with a key operational issue: insurance.
Read our CEO’s op-ed in today’s @timesunion with @AM_AndrewHevesi. Increasingly limited liability insurance access and unaffordability for foster care programs means a real threat to care for kids and families across NY. Read, share, and help spark action: https://t.co/AqwaYx9qWl
Happy to see @senatorzellner, Western New York’s new Senator, in the halls of Albany today! Congratulations Senator & thanks for your service & leadership!
Congratulations Commissioner Sandra Escamilla-Davies! What wonderful news for NYC’s children, youth, & families! Thank you for your leadership & service!
We are proud to work alongside @GovKathyHochul and our partners in the Interagency Task Force on Human Trafficking to disrupt the egregious exploitation and coercion of individuals. Together, we are committed to providing survivors with the services they need to escape harm.
Glad to join @GovKathyHochul to hear focus on affordability & universal child care at State of the State. In the Executive Budget, I’m hopeful we’ll see meaningful investments—starting with a 2.7% Targeted Inflationary Investment for nonprofit human services programs.
After pushing back against the Trump administration’s move to slash $2 billion in addiction & mental health grants, HHS said they will reverse course and restore this lifesaving funding.
This reversal is a win for behavioral health care, but these cuts should never have happened in the first place.

COFCCA was pleased to be at @GovKathyHochul’s State of the State & applauds her focus on affordability, universal child care, and youth mental health. Delivering on this vision depends on a strong human services workforce. We urge investment in 2.7% TII in the Executive Budget.
This administration's decision to freeze billions of dollars in childcare assistance and social services funding in Democratic states is a disgrace. The president should be a leader for all Americans, not just those in states that voted for him.
