What the FY 2027 New York State Budget Means for the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative
New York's FY 2027 Enacted Budget increased the appropriation for the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI) from $240 million to $300 million — a $60 million increase over the prior year, first proposed in the Governor's Executive Budget and adopted in the final spending plan. On the heels of that investment, the State released its Round 10 ESSHI Request for Proposals (RFP), making $45.9 million available for new supportive housing units statewide. Together, these actions continue New York's expansion of supportive housing — while leaving unresolved a growing question about the sustainability of the units the State has already built.

The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services Admits Key Error in New York Medicaid Program Integrity Review
The Trump administration this week acknowledged a significant factual error at the heart of its March 3rd Medicaid program integrity investigation of New York State. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) admitted to the Associated Press (AP) that the real number of New Yorkers receiving personal care services last year was approximately 450,000—between 6% and 7% of total enrollees—not the nearly 5 million (three-fourths of enrollees) that Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz claimed in his letter to Governor Hochul and accompanying social media video. The admission comes one week after the State submitted its 70-page response on April 3rd, which directly challenged the 75% figure as inaccurate, and when combined with additional factual misrepresentations identified by New York and independent advocates, arguably weakens the federal enforcement posture and vindicates the State’s strategic approach.
