A story in the New York Times discusses the fact that the Guardianship Project will likely close in April due to state budget cuts unless other funding comes through:

Barring a last-minute reprieve, it will shut down in April, leaving more than 100 people who are served by the program to be transferred to other services, and ending what some advocates viewed as a promising model for revamping the state’s troubled guardianship program.

“Nobody else is going to do what we do,” said Jean Callahan, the project’s director, sitting in her plainly furnished, green-tiled office in Downtown Brooklyn. “I know that people who could go back to their homes will spend the rest of their lives in nursing homes.”

“This is a classic case of being penny-wise and pound foolish,” said Julio A. Urbina, director of the healthy aging program at the Fan Fox and Leslie R. Samuels Foundation, which gave the Guardianship Project $436,000. “These people were not just talking about potential cost savings, they were actually saving the state millions of dollars. And when you eliminate community-based programs, you increase the likelihood that these people are going to end up in nursing homes. It’s just going to increase our costs in the long term."
