  1. New Yorkers sleeping in certain shelters receive as little as $22.50 2x/month as a personal needs allowance. This amount hasn’t been raised in decades. Thanks to @LindaBRosenthal, this can change. @NYSA_Majority: Pass #A8061 #FundOurBasicNeeds!
  2. We believe everyone deserves access to basic personal items. @LindaBRosenthal’s proposal to increase the Personal Needs Allowance will help homeless NYers afford essentials like toiletries, transportation, medication, & clothes. @NYSA_Majority: Pass #A8061! #FundOurBasicNeeds
  3. All New Yorkers deserve the dignity of meeting their personal needs – for toiletries, transportation, & more. But for NYers sleeping in shelters, the meager Personal Needs Allowance has not been raised in decades.
