Contact Governor Hochul

Governor Hochul released her FY27 Executive Budget Proposal. We began our budget advocacy efforts in late summer 2025, requesting a 2.7% Targeted Inflationary Increase (TII) to align rates with the increasing costs of services, and a CareForce Affordability package to supporting our workforce. In her Executive Budget, the governor included a 1.7% Targeted Inflationary Increase for nonprofit service providers.

While this investment is a start, significant needs remain to right our system after years of neglect. As we pivot to legislative advocacy, we urge you to challenge your legislators to include at least an additional 1% in their one-house budget bills to meet our request. Without this investment, we will continue to fall behind the rate of inflation over the past decade and beyond.

The Arc NY has updated their one-click campaign to help you easily connect with our legislators. Help kick-off the next phase of our budget advocacy with force! Take a moment to send a letter today!
