1.14.2025: Urge Governor Hochul to Invest in Home Care
Earlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul delivered her State of the State address — and it was deeply disappointing. Her focus on helping children thrive, improving infrastructure, and supporting young families continues a troubling pattern of ageism in New York’s policies. Despite championing workforce development and housing, the governor glaringly overlooked the essential role of home care in keeping New Yorkers living with dignity and independence.
Her failure to act on the Master Plan for Aging recommendations shows a concerning lack of vision for addressing the long-term care needs of our rapidly aging population. New York cannot afford to ignore this crisis.
