These changes can help childcare providers maintain adequate staffing and avoid classroom disruptions, while ensuring essential child safety protections remain in place. Thank you, @GovKathyHochul, for supporting childcare providers and New York families!

The team heard from experts in the field about connecting homelessness prevention, shelter, & permanent housing, & ensuring people have the support they need to remain stably housed. Ending homelessness requires a coordinated approach that makes housing the goal at every stage.

Win is outraged by the continued violence targeting immigrants in our city. We stand with @thenyic, @MaketheRoadNY and our community partners in affirming that ALL New York families deserve to be protected and live without fear.

For families, affordable child care can mean the ability to work, go to school, and provide for their children without choosing between care and other basic needs. Getting more than 10,000 children off the waitlist is an important step toward greater stability for NYC families.

In 2021, NYC received the largest allotment of Emergency Housing Vouchers in the country, with the program helping thousands of New Yorkers move out of homelessness and into permanent housing. This new funding can help protect that progress and keep families housed.
