Thank You; Disability Services Investment - NYS FY26 Budget
Dear [Decision Maker],
Thank you for your continued support of disability services in the FY25-26 New York State Budget. This is not something I or disability advocates in my community take for granted. There was a decade when disability services received little to no investment. Thanks to you and your continued advocacy, New York State has become a place where people with disabilities can flourish with supports needed to lead the lives they choose, in health and connection to their community.The 2.6% targeted inflationary increase, alongside Governor Hochul's 2024 rate rebasing created a nearly 15% increase in our largest programs and reflects meaningful progress for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP][Your Email]
