Our friends at The Arc New York have updated their online advocacy campaign tool with new information. Here’s the latest:
The Senate and Assembly provided more funding in their proposed budgets than the Governor did in her proposed spending plan, but none of them have provided both of the things disability service providers are seeking in the 2024-25 NYS budget:
· A 3.2% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) with language that does not overly restrict how funds must be allocated
· A Direct Support Wage Enhancement (DSWE)
