"Earlier this week Senator Tom Duane and I co-authored a sign-on letter to Governor Cuomo asking him to restore the budget for Runaway and Homeless Youth. An astounding one third of these at-risk youth are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender," said Senator José M. Serrano.
"We must do a better job protecting our most vulnerable youth who are at risk for things like HIV infection, drug use, crime and incarceration. Senator Duane and I were joined by 13 of our Senate colleagues in voicing our support for funding a much needed program that protects our youth."
