Tell New York State to Bring it Home and Make Appropriate Investments in Housing Programs
NAMI-NYS Government Affairs Chair Irene Turski
speaks at the press conference to launch the Bring it Home Campaign
The availablility of housing programs with full wraparound services has long been NAMI-NYS's top legislative priority. This is why we are proud to participate in the Bring it Home campaign. Bring it Home is a coalition of community-based supportive housing providers, mental health advocates, consumers and their families, urging New York State to adequately fund community-based housing programs for individuals with psychiatric disabilities. Full recovery and community reintegration depends on stable housing opportunities. Through education and advocacy, Bring it Home is working to bring better funding for better care to New York.
