Commentary: Why are we choosing to let one in five N.Y. children live in poverty?
Credit: Getty Images. Frank and Helena/Getty Images Being pro-family and pro-child is more than a platitude; it requires action.

This would address a significant inequity in the credit’s design and provide critical support to the families that need it the most. Index the tax credit to inflation.

Reject ill-advised cap on funding for child welfare prevention
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is a well-known adage about the value of preventing harm. We know that preventing an ailment saves us in the long run – in health, well-being, and unnecessary costs. Prevention works for social services, as in health. Governor Cuomo’s budget proposes an ill-advised cap on funding for child welfare prevention. Child welfare prevention means supporting families so children are safe, healthy and have basic resources they need.
Opioid epidemic increases need for foster care funding
In his State of the County address, Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy highlighted a shocking trend: The county has seen a 23 percent increase over the last four years in the number of children entering foster care due to parental substance use, mental health issues or domestic violence.

Growing up in certain neighborhoods is connected to greater risk of abuse and neglect, dropping out of school, homelessness and struggling financially as an adult. Thirty years ago, the late Gov.
