We urge the Speaker and City Council to consider one key missing factor—a modest investment of $250,000 towards our one-of-a-kind, evidence-based family support programs.
We are grateful for Hochul’s $1B investment in mental health care, but we still need more peer-led community programs, psychiatric beds, and supportive housing units.
