Disability Community Act

SAMPLE 1 (pairs well with “Image 3 Severe Shortages” or “Image 2 Referrals“)
A longstanding underinvestment in HCBS has meant that our direct support workforce has been in crisis for too long, and people with #disabilities and their families pay the price in reduced access to services.

SAMPLE 2 (pairs well with “Image 6 Reduced Access“)
In addition to a longstanding underinvestment in America’s direct support workforce, several regulatory changes have been introduced that, without commensurate funding, would further threaten supports and services for people with disabilities.

SAMPLE 7 (pairs well with “Image 6 Reduced Access“)
Recently, several regulatory changes have been introduced that, without commensurate funding, would threaten the supports and services that community providers offer for people with disabilities. The #DisabilityCommunityAct is a vital piece of legislation that would invest in Medicaid I/DD services and help community providers avoid disruption of services that would be devastating to millions of people with disabilities in the US.

SAMPLE 8 (pairs well with “Image 5 Lifeline“)
The #DisabilityCommunityAct is desperately needed to ensure that community providers can effectively comply with an array of regulatory changes that, as proposed, insist on additional costs without commensurate funding. Without a solution like the Disability Community Act, community providers will have no choice but to discontinue services or close their doors completely.

We support the #DisabilityCommunityAct, which would increase federal Medicaid funding for I/DD services over a three-year period. We thank @Paul D. Tonko and @Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick for their bipartisan leadership and recognition of the critical need to protect long-term services and supports.
