India Home’s Mission to Albany

Title slide reading Advocacy Mission to Albany by India Home, Tuesday, February 10, 2026, with the New York State Capitol and an I Love NY sign.

As you may know, our India Home advocates for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean senior immigrant rights, focusing on culturally competent services, affordable housing, and language access. They engage in policy advocacy, including traveling to Albany for state-level advocacy days to protect funding for senior centers and ensure access to services…

Though it was a freezing cold, proud to mention that our dedicated IH staff and senior members went to the same mission all day to Albany last night for the same cause. We are sure their efforts will be successful with fruitful results. Besides, India Home is not only our second home with trust but, gives us all needed help with hope and moral support as well. Thank You India Home..!

“We hope our India Home will soon have its own building.”
