SNAP keeps millions fed and communities across NYS stable.
@usdagov.bsky.social can act today to make sure millions of families receive their SNAP benefits on time. Delaying action means children, parents, veterans, people with disabilities, and older adults go without food.

Child care workers are the backbone of our economy—yet many are paid poverty-level wages.

It’s time for New York to invest in fair compensation so that this essential workforce can thrive, not just survive.

@schuylercenter.bsky.social Policy Director and ESCCC leader Dede Hill recently appeared on Spectrum News to discuss the Child Care Assistance Program.

Child care voucher boost may not be enough for some N.Y. counties
It comes as several counties upstate have had to create waitlists or close enrollment.
