Cayuga Centers is laying off over 200 employees—nearly 20% of its workforce—due to severe underfunding, according to The Citizen. The cuts include 33 positions in Auburn, where the agency is based, and affect locations in New York, Florida, and Delaware.
The agency said state and local contracts have failed to cover rising operational costs for services like foster care and disability support.
It plans to shut down some programs and redirect affected families to other providers. Details on which programs will close are still pending.
