黑料正能量 Note: The following comes from our friends at the Association for Community Living who warn that 鈥渢here is $75 million in the NYS Health Budget that is supposed to be for housing for high users of Medicaid.听 Unfortunately, the Senate and the Assembly have targeted portions of that money to help them close their proposed budgets.鈥听

PLEASE MAKE CALLS TO LEADERSHIP in the Assembly and the Senate and to the Governor鈥檚 Office.

To the Assembly and Senate Leaders:
Please keep the $75 million in the health budget that was set aside for housing.听 Plans for that money can be made quickly and units of much needed housing could be up and running from 6 months to 2 years.听 This administration has acknowledged what many have known for many years, that only housing will bend the cost听curve for many high users of Medicaid.听 We must not use this money for anything else!
