We are the caring majority
Who We Are
NY Caring Majority is an organization 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
- Pass legislation to restore local fiscal intermediaries (S1189/A2735 or A8355/S7945)
- 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
