Despite their invaluable contributions, nonprofit providers continue to be overlooked and underfunded, writes AHRC New York City’s CEO, Marco Damiani in the New York Daily News.
“New York State’s final $237 billion budget fails to meet the needs of New Yorkers with disabilities, their families, the workforce that supports them and the nonprofit provider agencies… Policymakers must acknowledge the critical role of nonprofit provider agencies in delivering supports to people with disabilities. These organizations play an integral part in the lives of countless individuals and families, providing vital assistance and fostering community inclusion.”
