n response to the COVID-19 crisis, CCC sent delegates from New York State a letter urging them to ensure the needs of children and families are addressed in the federal stimulus being negotiated.
This pandemic will have long-standing and devastating impacts on New York, and those impacts will be especially detrimental on the already disproportionately at-risk populations in our state.
CCC wrote that there is an urgent need to ensure that children and families are not further plunged into financial, social and physical hardship by the current crisis and that methods to address these needs are included in the third stimulus package passed.
