re raising grandchildren received a big boost in the state budget. Kinship caregivers raise nearly 400,000 children throughout New York, help keep children out of foster care, and reduce financial costs to state. The Legislature rejected proposed cuts to programs important to kinship caregivers and provided additional funding that will allow even more caregivers and children to be served.

AARP looks forward to continuing to work with the Governor and the Legislature on proposals that allow New Yorkers to remain in their communities as they grow older.
