NY’s final budget is being decided NOW.
A 4% TII is critical to stabilize care, support workers, and protect services for the I/DD community.
We’re mobilizing this week—stay tuned and take action.

Without a 4% TII, nonprofit providers can’t sustain essential I/DD services.
And we know: investment works.
⬇️ 44% DSP vacancies
⬇️ 6% turnover
⬆️ 28.6% starting wages
Don’t lose this progress. Fund a full 4% TII.

Behind every I/DD service is a workforce making independence possible.
That system is under strain.
NY’s final budget must include a full 4% TII to stabilize services, support staff, and prevent disruptions.

DSPs are essential to the I/DD community, and they need our support. That's why we're calling on New York legislators to expand workforce support for childcare, healthcare, and housing. A little extra help can make a world of difference!

DSPs help provide a sense of stability and independence to thousands of New Yorkers who live with disabilities. New York must invest in both members of the I/DD community and their support teams. #InvestInMe #InvestInUs

Fabulous first person story of a journey toward freedom and independence! Love my job!
Go Ajani! ❤️
Living Resources NY@LivResourcesNY
Ajani’s story is a reminder of why we do what we do. From 24/7 supervision to an independent life filled with "more freedom," Ajani is now flourishing as a worker, resident, and dreamer. "It will all get better soon." — Wise words from a truly inspiring individual.

Thanks to advocacy and state investment, we’re seeing positive change in the workforce:
📉 Vacancy rate has decreased 16.9% YoY
It’s clear that when New York invests, disability services strengthen. Let’s keep building on this progress.

During DSP Week, we’re here in Washington DC as part of the @TheRealANCOR Policy Summit educating members of Congress on the importance of investment - not divestment - in disability services funded by Medicaid!

@RepMikeLawler @RepStefanik - this is why we were urging you to vote against the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill.” Cuts to disability svcs already being proposed in NC. The threats to vital disability programs are real.

Why do we need a Human Services Wage Commission in New York?
Because DSPs are essential and deserve fair, livable wages for their work to support New Yorkers with disabilities.

A Human Services Wage Commission could be the game-changer New York’s care system needs because supporting the people who care for others isn’t optional, it’s essential.
