An insightful op-ed in The Buffalo News discusses the critical issue of the ‘benefits cliff’ that many essential human services workers face. Our very own Joe Jones, Director of Policy, Advocacy and Research at FPWA, is quoted in the piece, emphasizing the need for comprehensive solutions.
Joe states, “This is a great first step. Much more remains to be done.” He underscores that while proposed state legislation to address the ‘benefits cliff’ is a positive move, we must continue to push for policies that truly support the advancement of the working poor.
In a new op-ed published by Crain’s New York Business, Jennifer Jones Austin, CEO and Executive Director, FPWA, and Michelle Jackson, Executive Director, Human Services Council, tell us why it’s time for New York City to step up for human services workers that provide lifesaving services and help them reach self-sufficiency and true financial stability.
The relationship between mental health, economic justice, and food security is deeply intertwined. In this new blog post, FPWA highlights how having insufficient access to food is a burden on mental health and well-being for varying and complex reasons.
