We're kicking off our newest collaboration with the<a href="https://welcometocup.org/people/coalition-of-institutionalized-aged-and-disabled"> </a><a href="https://welcometocup.org/people/coalition-of-institutionalized-aged-and-disabled">Coalition of Institutionalized Aged and Disabled</a> (CIAD) to create a visual tool that explains how residents of adult care facilities can decide how to spend New York State funds meant to benefit them.
New York’s Enhancing the Quality of Adult Living (EQUAL) Program is state funding to support quality care for residents in adult care facilities. Residents of assisted living homes can play a substantial role in deciding how to spend these funds, but many residents don’t know how to participate. To support residents in participating in how this money is spent, this tool will explain what EQUAL is, how the application process works, what the money can be spent on, and how residents can work with facility staff to create a plan.
CIAD will work with designer <a href="https://welcometocup.org/people/anna-pelavin">Anna Pelavin</a> and CUP Community Education Program Managers <a href="https://welcometocup.org/people/agustín-cepeda">Agustín Cepeda</a> and <a href="https://welcometocup.org/people/pilar-finuccio">Pilar Finuccio</a> to develop this tool. Stay tuned for updates about the project!
This project is part of <a href="https://welcometocup.org/public-access-design">Public Access Design</a>, CUP’s series of community-engaged design booklets created with community organizations, designers, and CUP staff that visually explain a policy, system, or process impacting social justice. Public Access Design is supported by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
