Billions in proposed #Medicaid cuts in the House and Senate budget reconciliation bills massively reduces federal funding to states. When states face budget shortfalls, disability services like home and community-based services are cut.

The #DisabilityCommunityAct is vital legislation that protects access to critical long-term supports and services for people with I/DD by increasing federal Medicaid funding over a three-year period. Join us in asking lawmakers for their support: https://t.co/oCBDdFfscg

Thank you @GMA for shedding light on an issue that affects providers — and most importantly, people with disabilities and their families — across the country.

[Good Morning America @GMA]

A growing concern as advocacy groups say a workforce shortage is causing group homes helping Americans with intellectual and developmental disabilities to be understaffed. ABC News' @WhitJohnson has more.

[Bancroft @BancroftOrg]

This is a big deal -- for resources, funding and partnerships that benefit the people Bancroft supports.

[Amanda ‘science fan girl’ Morris (she/her) 🤟🏻🌵 @AmandaMoMorris]

For years, researchers say it was difficult to study health inequities that people with disabilities experience, because the way this population was classified by the NIH limited access to funding.

Now, that's changed:

We are tremendously saddened by the loss of @LtGovOliver - a trailblazer and dedicated public servant. Our thoughts are with the Lt. Governor’s family, friends and all those who loved her.

[New Jersey @NJGov]

Statement from Lieutenant Governor Oliver’s Family.

[Bancroft @BancroftOrg]

Thrilled to see this bill move forward. Its passage will help paint an accurate picture of DSPs nationwide- and better inform policies to strengthen and stabilize the workforce.
