Angela Jozwicki of Centereach, N.Y., poses for a portrait with her nearly two year-old son son Cameryn, Wednesday, March 14, 2018, in Holtsville, N.Y. Jozwicki was in her early 30's and had already had an abortion when she used a store-bought test to confirm she was pregnant again in October 2015. She made an appointment for another abortion, because she was using drugs. But when the baby's father didn't show up to take her to the clinic for her appointment, Jozwicki changed her mind and decided to keep the baby. Jozwicki found the Soundview Pregnancy Services in Centereach, New York, where she saw the baby on an ultrasound and returned for weekly meetings with a staff member and watch videos about pregnancy and childcare. That staff person was with Jozwicki with Cameryn was born. The center has continued to assist Jozwicki and Cameryn in various ways, including helping her reconcile with her mother, with whom the pair now live. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Leaders of New York’s Democratic-controlled Legislature want to boost funding for housing, child care and home care in this year’s budget. Legislative leaders have spent weeks negotiating with Gov. Kathy Hochul over the state budget, which lawmakers must pass by April 1. Both legislative proposals would boost funding for rental relief, utility debt and home care. Neither included extra relief for undocumented workers. The Assembly’s proposal did not include the Senate’s proposed statewide ban on fossil fuels in new construction.
