Happy Halloween! 🎃 A scary fact is that NYS mental health housing providers are still using funding models created in the 80s that don’t include modern needs like technology, security, & more. Send an e-letter to the Governor urging her to modernize MHH👉 takeaction.io/acl/send-e-let…

Latoya tirelessly works in a NYS Mental Health Housing program to help residents build the life-skills & independence to attain recovery. However, due to rising resident needs & limited staffing, she has to work more than her salaried time, which limits moments spent w/her son.

Last year, we made progress with a 5.4% State COLA for human services workers. But with cost-of-living on the rise, we have to do better. @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie let’s keep it up with an 8.5% COLA for our workers in FY24! #JustPay
