We oppose the Primary Prevention Incentive Program (PPIP) block grant, that will throw homeless kids back onto the streets, proposed in Governor Cuomo's budget that eliminates the Youth Development and Delinquency Prevention Program (YDDP), Special Delinquency Prevention Program (SDPP) and the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act (RHYA).

RHYA is a proven program that reduces parental physical abuse, improves family relationships, increases both college attendence and employment rates.

I am asking members of the state Assembly and Senate to reject the Primary Prevention Incentive Program (PPIP) block grant proposed in Governor Cuomo.

Thank you,
