On March 27 at 11 a.m., NYPAAL LLC, a group of adult care home providers, will hold a rally with members, staff and supporters outside of the New York City office of Governor Andrew Cuomo, 633 3rd Avenue – between 40th and 41st Streets.
The seniors will call on Cuomo to advocate for a critical SSI increase in the New York State budget.
Many low income elderly and disabled individuals in New York live in adult care facilities, which are paid through SSI.

In the last twenty years, adult care facilities have had one rate increase in 2007. There has been no State COLA increase during this period and costs to these facilities – providing housing, care and services – have continued to go up. Legislators are currently debating including the SSI increase in this budget and negotiating with the Governor’s office.
