ACTION ALERT: One Week Left Until We See One-House Budget Proposals!

(March 3, 2026) We have approximately one week remaining in our advocacy to urge state legislators to prioritize long-term care and the needs of older adults in the Assembly and Senate one-house budget proposals!

One-house budget proposals are expected to be released sometime during the week of March 9^th. As state legislators begin to meaningfully discuss which budget proposals will and will not be addressed in one-houses, it is critical that we keep the funding needs of long-term care and aging services providers top of mind for decision-makers.

LeadingAge NY has crafted the below service line-specific digital advocacy letters to help us keep the pressure on legislators for the remainder of 2026-27 budget discussions. Each letter takes only a minute to send. Simply enter your information to automatically send an email to the Governor and your State Senator and Assembly Member.

Please use the links below to send messages to your legislators and the Governor today!

• Resident Assistant in Affordable Senior Housing Budget Letter
• Adult Care Facility/Assisted Living Budget Letter
• Home and Community-Based Services Budget Letter
• Adult Day Health Care Budget Letter
• Nursing Home Budget Letters:
  • Provider Leadership (Executives, Administrators, Directors, etc.)
  • Board Members
  • Staff
  • Family Members
  • Volunteers/Constituents
  • Resident letter available upon request​​​​​​​

After you send your letters, we strongly encourage you to share these links with colleagues, board members, and volunteers. This is a simple and easy way to strengthen our unified message to the Legislature at this critical time.

In addition, we encourage members to continue to share our Budget Issue Briefs with legislative offices and participate in our March 4^th Day of Action by calling legislative offices on the morning or early afternoon of March 4^th.

Thank you for your budget advocacy and for staying engaged with us throughout this process!
