East End Disability Associates
Creating Opportunities for Happy Lives
The Kinexion Network in alignment with our provider associations, the New York Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation (NYAII), the Inter Agency Council (IAC) and New York Disability Advocates (NYDA), supports the efforts of the "Invest in Me" campaign. This campaign asks our legislators to invest in IDD services through a 7.8% Medicaid rate increase, create a Wage Commission to establish fair, sustainable compensation standards commensurate with human services work, and to enhance capital funding to help agencies become more energy-efficient in alignment with the state's climate goals.
