What's at Stake?
-
Threats to Independence: Reduced funding means fewer opportunities for people with IDD to live, work, and thrive in their communities.
-
Impact on Essential Services: Cuts could limit access to housing support, employment services, personal care, and community programs.
-
Harm to Direct Support Professionals (DSPs): Reduced funding could lead to lower wages and workforce shortages, affecting the quality of care.
