Today is a critical moment in the final stretch of state budget negotiations. As decisions are being made right now, we need a strong, unified voice calling for a 4% targeted inflationary increase for mental health and substance use providers.
The Alliance is working alongside statewide advocacy partners to push this across the finish line, but we need you to help make it happen.
Today, Tuesday, May 5th, please take a few minutes to call key state leaders and urge them to include the 4% in the final budget.
Governor Kathy Hochul

Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins

Message:
Please support a 4% targeted inflationary increase in rates and contracts for mental health and substance use disorder staff and operations in the final budget. Without this additional funding, countless adults, children and families will not get the services and support they desperately need.
