statewide public guardianship programProPublica

Councilmember Crystal Hudson introduced a resolution last week intended to force Albany to take up the cause of those whom judges have deemed incapable of managing their own affairs.
More than 28,000 people statewide are currently under the care of court-appointed guardians, and nearly 60% of them live in New York City .
Hudson ’s bill calls for an annual infusion of state funding to serve poor New Yorkers in the system.
An advisory committee of judges and lawyers has recommended that the state’s top judicial leaders and court administrators ask Albany to create a “fully funded statewide entity” to serve as a public guardian.
Such a government entity, the committee estimates, would cost $72 million to staff and serve the “unbefriended” in each county.
That money would come from funding reserved for lawyers who represent the indigent in criminal cases.
