March 31, 2022
CPC President/CEO Wayne Ho and JASA President/CEO Kathryn Haslanger co-wrote an op-ed for the Gotham Gazette that “It’s time for Albany to equitably and fairly compensate home care workers.” They urge State legislators to pass Fair Pay for Home Care to increase wages by 50% and the A3145A Epstein/S359A Persaud bill to ensure 24-hour home care cases are split into two, separate 12-hour shifts.
