Restore Funding for New York's Runaway and Homeless Youth!

Restore Funding for New York's Runaway and Homeless Youth!

The Issue

Over 5,000 youth in New York City are homeless each night. Gov. Cuomo has cut runaway and homeless youth services by 33%, to the lowest level since the 1980s. Runaway and homeless youth programs like MCCNY Homeless Youth Services: Sylvia's Place save taxpayers millions of dollars each year by helping youth who would otherwise end up in more expensive facilities like hospitals and prisons. Tell Governor Cuomo to restore the $2.3 million that has been cut from state runaway and homeless youth funding in the past year!
