We are only two weeks from when the 2019 – 2020 State Budget will be finalized! We must get an incremental housing rate hike this year!
As of today, Governor Cuomo has added $10 million, the Senate has added $13 million and the Assembly has added $20 million in additional funds for OMH housing rates. They will now negotiate.
We want them to agree to the Assembly’s proposed $20 million!
WE NEED EVERYONE TO CALL LEADERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE INCLUDED AT THE TOP POSSIBLE AMOUNT!
Call the following:
Governor Andrew Cuomo: (518) 474-8390
Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins: (518) 455-2585
Assemblyman Carl Heastie: (518) 455-3791
and say the following statement to the person who answers or to the voicemail:
“Please Make Sure That the Final Budget Includes the Full $20 Million in Funding
That the Assembly Proposed for Mental Health Housing.”
THANK YOU!
