NYCIL Caring Majority

Hudson Mohawk Magazine

On May 20th the New York Association on Independent Living and Caring Majority Rising held a joint press conference, urging the legislature to pass a bill restoring choice in the Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. Some argue Governor Kathy Hochul created a monopoly by shuttering some 600 companies, turning the program over to Public Partnerships LLC or PPL. Disabled people who rely on the program, their homecare workers, and advocates are fighting for A.8355/S.9754 to pass, otherwise services will be at risk.
