New Yorkers with disabilities have a right to live and thrive in their own communities. I visited AHRC New York City at their multi-service center in Brooklyn to hear about their exceptional programs, hear from self-advocates, and share my commitment to protecting disability rights and bolstering community-based support.

Visited @AHRCNYC in FiDi to learn how their clinics and career programs support people with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities lead full and equitable lives. Thank you to CEO Marco Damiani and the AHRC team for the tour and the work you do for our city.

N.Y. lacks support for people with disabilities

New York State’s final $237 billion budget fails to meet the needs of New Yorkers with disabilities, their families, the workforce that supports them and the nonprofit provider agencies.

Today, I co-chaired the Mental Hygiene budget hearing and questioned @NYSOPWDD Commissioner Neifeld about the I/DD workforce crisis. DSPs need a DSWE and 3.2% COLA to counter stagnating wages and the high cost of living. (1/2) youtube.com/watch?v=bGs8lSW0…

Great meeting @AHRCNYC on urgent need to increase pay for direct support professionals who care for people with disabilities. Years of disinvestment have forced many out of the field. @NYSA_Majority included an 8.5% COLA in our one-house. It must be in final budget!
