'Candidates Who Care' Rally At PPL's Headquarters to Demand Oversight of Collapsing CDPAP Program

NEW YORK, NY (06/09/2026) (readMedia)-- On Tuesday, ahead of the June 23 primary, candidates for State Senate and Assembly will rally with home care workers and CDPAP consumers outside the headquarters of Public Partnerships LLC (PPL), the private equity-backed firm now in charge of CDPAP in New York State. The candidates are endorsed by Caring Majority Rising as part of their 'Candidates Who Care' slate: incumbents and challengers who have made fighting for New York's home care community a centerpiece of their campaigns, including demanding basic oversight and accountability of PPL's management of CDPAP.

CDPAP is a lifeline for New Yorkers in need of home care, and provides hundreds of thousands of caregiving jobs. But since PPL took over in spring 2025, at least 150,000 workers and 90,000 consumers have fled the program. Workers are going unpaid. Consumers are losing the care that keeps them in their homes and out of institutions. With primary day approaching, Caring Majority Rising is expanding the Albany coalition that will ensure public dollars meant for care go to care, not corruption.

New York faces one of the worst home care shortages in the nation - yet instead of investing in care, NY State is handing billions to insurance companies and private equity firms who extract profits while workers accept poverty wages and consumers lose access to quality care. At a time when federal cuts threaten to gut Medicaid, we can't afford to keep wasting billions on corporate middlemen. It's time to invest in care - not corruption.
