Who We Are

NY Caring Majority is a movement of people with disabilities, older adults, family caregivers, and home care workers.

We are organizing to build a sustainable and just caring economy. We call for greater investments in home and community-based care, as a necessary means to meet our broader goal of dignity, self-determination, access and justice for all.

 

Our Goals

End PPL's Failed Monopoly & Ensure Accountability

  • End PPL's disastrous contract and restore consumer choice in CDPAP
  • Bring back community-based fiscal intermediaries that served families successfully
  • Establish permanent oversight to prevent future private equity disasters

Stop Giving Billions to Insurance Middlemen

  • Pass the Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act (S2332/A2018)
  • Eliminate insurance middlemen who pocket billions while worsening the care crisis
  • Save $3 billion annually ($25-32 billion over 10 years)
  • Reinvest savings directly into care: higher wages, better quality, continuity of care

Pay Workers What They Deserve

  • Pass the Fair Pay for Home Care Act (A1991)
  • Solve the workforce shortage by making home care jobs sustainable
  • Raise wages to 150% of regional minimum wages so workers can stay in the field
  • Improve care quality: when workers are paid fairly, consumers get better care
