AHRC New York City Providing services for people with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities & their families. Cal AHRC New York City is a Chapter of The Arc New York.

Our Vision
A socially just world where the power of difference is embraced, valued and celebrated. Our Mission
Advocate for people with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities to lead full and equitable lives. Equity for People with Disabilities
We’re fiercely committed to achieving equity for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in New York City. At AHRC New York City we support more than 15,000 people annually under our guiding principle of equity for people with disabilities. We uphold the highest standards in supporting people to lead full and equitable lives and are part of a social justice movement grounded in our common humanity. Our 5,000 staff are devoted to the highest levels of excellence and innovation in all aspects of their work to actively create a world where the power of difference is embraced, valued and celebrated. We’re meeting our objectives by not only providing supports to people with intellectual & developmental disabilities and their families, but by also calling for change in legislation and public policy, and advocating for better education, living arrangements, prospects for work and fuller lives in the community. We’re an over 75-year-old family governed organization, among the very best champions for people with disabilities in New York City and beyond. The number of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities is great as are the inequities they face in a world that still perpetuates an “us and them” mentality. Now more than ever, we call upon government, corporations, foundations and the public to join us so we can effectively advocate and achieve equity for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Tomorrow, we’re joining New York Disability Advocates at the NYS Capitol to call on Governor Kathy Hochul to enact our CareForce Affordability Agenda and financial protections for the I/DD community, including our staff who work hard to support New Yorkers with disabilities.

It’s time to make our voices heard and ensure providers and staff have the resources they need to deliver quality care.

SNAP benefits continue to be delayed for tens of millions of Americans who rely on this program to feed themselves and their loved ones. Urge your Congressional representatives today to support continued funding for SNAP.

Because Congress has not yet reached an agreement on funding, the federal government is currently shut down. As a result, on November 1, federal funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will run out.
