NYCAMH is grateful to New York State leadership for their continued investment in our life-changing occupational safety and health programs. As a state with tens of thousands of farmworkers, it is heartening to know our rural communities have the support of our elected officials.
Thanks to bipartisan support, NYCAMH will receive a total of roughly $2.6 million in 2025 for our programming. This crucial funding will ensure that farmers, farmworkers, and farm families stay safe and healthy in the years to come.
This announcement comes at a time when funding for similar agricultural health and safety centers across the country are facing uncertainty. All of these centers, including ours, may be directly impacted by significant and immediate cuts to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
We are grateful to our ag community partners like the New York Farm Bureau and the Northeast Dairy Producers Association (NEDPA) for advocating for us and the importance of our work, as well as to our representatives for their ongoing support.
