“Everybody’s got to be comfortable.”

🏠 Our Care Manager Kayla recently shared why expanding supportive housing matters-because everyone deserves a home where they feel safe and accepted.

Now, New York State is asking for your ideas. Through the new Express NY portal, residents can submit recommendations to:
· Build housing faster
· Cut red tape
· Make it easier to access services

If you believe in expanding housing options and improving access for people with disabilities, this is your chance to speak up.

📅 Submit ideas here by April 3rd ➡️ https://forms.ny.gov/s3/how-can-we-make-new-york-state-work-better-for-you

Your voice can help shape a more accessible New York.

With support from his LIFEPlan CCO care manager, Sabrinna, Stephen returned to New York City to reconnect with his roots, culture, and memories.

From coordinating logistics to securing funding and supports, this journey shows what person-centered care management can make possible.

Stephen continues to live independently through Family Care supports, attend day habilitation, and earn income from knitting- a skill he uses for therapy and productivity.
