Self-advocate Kim Compton and DSP Meg Affonso from the Center for Disability Services were among the speakers calling for a fair investment in disability services.
On November 19, more than 300 members of New York Disability Advocates (NYDA) coalition rallied in the War Room of the Capitol to urge lawmakers to support a stable care system for New Yorkers with disabilities. Among the attendees were representatives from non-profit provider agencies throughout the state, direct support professionals, family members, and people with disabilities.
NYDA is calling on legislators to address in next year’s state budget the decades-long underfunding that has left non-profit providers struggling to maintain facilities and provide the high quality care that people with disabilities deserve. To address these issues and ensure a stable care system for people with disabilities, NYDA is advocating for a 7.8% Medicaid rate increase, adequate wages for direct support professionals, and enhanced capital funding to meet New York’s ambitious climate goals.
