Governor Kathy Hochul released her Executive Budget Proposal and the picture she paints for our future is grim.
If enacted, nonprofit providers of supports and services for New Yorkers with intellectual and developmental disabilities will receive a mere 1.5% cost of living increase, which is NOT ENOUGH.
Please participate in our “One-Click” communication campaign and tell our State Officials to support our salaries and services for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. There is strength in numbers, so it is crucial that you participate.

Please note:
There are four issues currently on the page.
IT IS IMORTANT TO CLICK ON THE FIRST THREE ISSUES – OMIG Reform, OPWDD and Clinical Services. The Governor addresses school funding at a later date.
The third box down is a petition to sign in support of the OPWDD programs for staff salaries – you only have to sign that once.
The last issue on the page is for Early Intervention, which we had to discontinue providing because of the lack of funding.
You will have to exit the page and re-enter to click on an additional one-click message.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!
