📣Nonprofits from across CT gathered at the State Capitol today for the annual Nonprofit Rally. Our Senators heard your message loud and clear! We will continue to fight for policies to support the critical services that you provide and to help the people you selflessly serve.
Last night, the President asked that we imagine a future where people with disabilities can receive the care they need to stay in their homes. We ask Congress to respond and pass legislation to increase funding for home and community-based services: https://t.co/tGrnnabn6Z
@CTNPAlliance Funding nonprofits to meet the needs of people in Connecticut can be done within the 'fiscal guardrails'. Why is it that nonprofits have been subjected to rates that have not kept up with inflation while other sectors in CT have had such rate adjustments?

@oakhillct@Reliance_Health@JillianG_CT@RepNolanCT39th@SenatorSeminara Rep. @HueyD23 listed off the names of people in the cold weather shelter in Stamford who are doing incredible work sheltering people this winter. "I thank you, my colleagues thank you, and we are going to keep fighting to get you the resources that you need."
@oakhillct@Reliance_Health@JillianG_CT@RepNolanCT39th "I want to thank the nonprofits for the job that you do every single day for our most vulnerable population in the state. We have fought hard and will continue to fight hard to get whatever funding is necessary." @SenatorSeminara
@oakhillct@Reliance_Health "Every one of us in this room knows someone who has experienced addiction. If theycan get into services, then their trajectory for sobriety is much better. I've heard from parents about the changes to their child's behavior when there's turnover with their staff" - @JillianG_CT
@oakhillct@Reliance_Health "I started when I was 17 as a patient in Norwich Hospital. I'm 62 today. I started at Reliance Health in 1980...We work on so many skills at Reliance Health. We need this funding." - Joe Mercer from @Reliance_Health
@oakhillct "For more than half of my career, we have been flat funded or cut funded...We need to be able to keep up with expenses – gas, food. There is no other service where we could agree to provide the same service for flat funding over time." - Carrie Dyer from @Reliance_Health
