Please send digital letters to legislators, and share the links with your colleagues, board members, and volunteers. This is a critical moment to keep the funding needs of long-term care and aging services providers top of mind for decision-makers.

Please continue to send these digital advocacy letters to state legislators and the Governor, urging them to fund long-term care in the NYS budget. New nursing home letters now available!

LeadingAge NY President and CEO Sebrina Barrett testified at the Joint Legislative Budget Hearing on Health/Medicaid today, calling for meaningful investments dedicated to long-term care and aging services.

The letter urges the creation of a State-funded program that would allow more affordable independent senior housing properties to offer on-site, on-request Resident Assistance to help low-income older adults age safely in their home while keeping high-cost health care and long-term care spending in check.

The program would allow more affordable senior housing properties to engage a staff person to help older adults understand and access the resources they need to remain independent. Use our new digital action letter to add your support today!

Join LeadingAge NY in urging Governor Hochul to sign A.565 (Paulin)/S.3437 (Krueger), which would prohibit the expansion of existing, and the establishment of new, for-profit hospice operators in NYS.

Join us for this discussion on LeadingAge NY's ongoing advocacy, 2026 Advocacy Day strategies, and how members can get involved.
