    20 17 Annual Report H E A L T H & W E L F A R E C O U N C I L O F L O N G I S L A N D A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO Rebecca SaNiN President/CEO Health and Welfare Council of Long Island (HWCLI) is the premiere convening, advocacy and capacity-building organization for the nonprofit sector in our region. Working with federal, state, and local partners, we advance outcomes for all of our neighbors on Long Island by changing systems, regional planning, as well as addressing symptoms such as hunger through enrollment in programs that meet basic needs. I had the privilege of becoming the new President/CEO in May of 2017—a year in which the risk of defunding health and human services is constant. This is a time when Long Island's poverty level on Long Island is the highest it’s been since 1959 and families are living with the fear of cuts to the services that allow for survival. At the same time, our region has experienced tremendous demographic shifts with over 8,000 unaccompanied children entering Long Island communities since 2014. While these challenges can at times overwhelm the institutions that serve our neighbors, they offer tremendous opportunity for coordinated planning and collaboration between the nonprofit sector, government, businesses, foundations and faith-based institutions. I have tremendous hope that this challenging time may be our region’s greatest opportunity to work collaboratively towards systemic change and to help realize the potential of each and every individual and community that calls Long Island home.
