2023 Advocacy
The purpose of Advocacy Day is to ensure our NY State Senators and Assemblymembers hear directly from us. They need to know our value of Neighborhood Preservation Companies (NPCs) and that we faithfully serve our neighborhoods all throughout the State.
Funding for the Neighborhood Preservation Program (NPP) is NOT guaranteed. EVERY year, our funding amount is determined through the New York State budget. Since 2015, our funding has been virtually flat. While at the same time, the cumulative rate of inflation is 25.7%.
