Action Alert: Call City Council to Restore Budget Cuts for AIDS Housing!
Tell Quinn and City Council to support supportive housing!
The City Council is aiming to vote on the City Budget early this year, which gives us only a few short weeks to fight against the cuts to HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA)! The Mayor has proposed cutting case management services in supportive housing, overseen by HASA, by $1.9 million.
Right now, City Council members are meeting by borough to decide on important budget restorations, and we need you to tell them to stop the Mayor’s cuts to case management in housing for people living with AIDS!
Call the Chair of your Borough Delegation and Speaker Quinn’s office TODAY and say the following:
“I’m calling to oppose the Mayor’s budget cuts to AIDS housing programs. We need the City Council to restore case management in HASA-supported housing for people living with AIDS. We can’t afford to cut AIDS housing funding when homelessness is rising and more people are becoming eligible for HASA.”
If you have lived in congregate or Scatter Site I housing, tell them your personal experience with the programs, and how case management services helped you.
Please take a moment to call today! Don’t let AIDS services take another hit!
