TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE! Supportive housing funding at the federal level remains uncertain. @governor.ny.gov & the state Legislature must step up and ensure our own funding is stable by including the proposed additional $8M for NYSSHP & $100M for HHAP in the final budget. #SaveSupportiveHousing

@governor.ny.gov announced grant awards to 130 NYSSHP programs. This is a welcome and much needed start, but Gov. Hochul and legislators need to implement a five-year plan that begins with an additional $62M in this year's budget to fully meet program needs.

Nonprofits have been helping New Yorkers get by in a city with high cost-of-living, all while struggling with underinvestment themselves.
We’re ready for change. We hope @mayor.nyc.gov will deliver on that for the benefit of our sector and communities.

The Continuum of Care (CoC)—the backbone of supportive housing —is in serious jeopardy. ~2.5K households will fall out of contract across NYS between Jan- March. Only a congressional fix can stop the harm.
Congress must act NOW. Send a message today! shnny.secure.nonprofitsoapbox.com/thudcoc

Thaiasia Johnson, Program Director, is urging NY leaders to include #DomesticViolence program staff in inflationary wage increases. These workers help 1000s of survivors rebuild their lives. Without fair pay, this vital work is at risk. It’s time to pass S1580/A2590!
