About the Policy Center
Where policy meets purpose
The Policy Center is at the core of InUnity Alliance’s mission, leading strategic advocacy and policy initiatives to advance equitable, community-based substance use and mental health services in New York and beyond.
Informed by the lived experiences and expertise of our members, the Center develops policy solutions that address urgent needs, reduce barriers, and drive long-term systems change.
Priorities
-
Equal access to timely, quality, and culturally responsive services across New York's diverse communities.
-
A workforce that reflects our communities and has the support, training, and tools necessary to provide consistent, high-quality services that are inclusive of cultural differences and lived experiences, including the advancement of peer professionals.
-
Payment structures that stabilize services and ensure access to prevention and care.
-
Modernized regulations that prioritize service quality and access, eliminating unnecessary administrative barriers to care.
