BREAKING: NY Senate just passed the #AdoptionSubsidyFraud bill! Thank you to our sponsors @AndrewHevesi @SenatorPersaud and to the wide coalition advocating for this law!

This National Foster Care Month, let’s pass S8745 @AndreaSCousins! For decades, parents who stopped supporting the children they adopted from foster care have collected millions of dollars in adoption subsidies. Allow those funds to go directly to youth/their actual caregiver!

Thank you @AndrewHevesi @SenatorPersaud for sponsoring this important piece of legislation that will support youth, stop fraud, & save the state millions. We need to bring S8745/A3580 for a floor vote @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins!

When parents can’t care for children they adopted, the adoption subsidy should be transferred to the adult who steps in to help. @andreascousins @carlheastie: help ensure that adopted children get the support they need! Pass S8745/A3580 now!

We urge the NYS legislature to pass S8745/A3580 & stop adoption subsidy fraud & allow $ go to young people so they can pay for their basic needs & advance their futures. This will save millions & prevent youth homelessness @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie nydailynews.com/2014/09/02/d…
“Giving someone a piece of paper is a success, but it doesn't always lead to the desired outcome because you need those wrap-around supports to ensure they can turn that piece of paper into a set of keys and actually move into an apartment,” @JPowlovich @nychyorg

Shelter exits data released by the city and analyzed by @CityLimitsNews highlights just how narrow the path out of shelter is, and how hard it is for homeless residents—particularly single adults—to find permanent housing 🧵

Housing navigators are essential in ensuring young ppl have the support they need to exit homelessness into 🏠, but @NYCMayor has cut all $$ for these positions in @NYCYouth homeless youth programs. Thank you @NYCSpeakerAdams @A_StevensD16 for pushing for this $$ to be restored!

Advocates fear that as the permanent shelter denials begin kicking in, NYC could see a massive surge in street homelessness.

Migrants sleeping on the floor could be a fire hazard, City Hall said. But the rules appear to be have sowed confusion, at least at one site where those staying were told earlier this month they weren’t allowed to sleep before 2:30 a.m.

“The mayor needs to stop trying to duck his responsibilities to the people in the city who are most in need,” said Dave Giffen of @NYHomeless, one of several groups pressing the Adams administration to implement @NYCCouncil laws to expand rental vouchers. bit.ly/44eSneQ
