Thanks to @CarolinaJournal and to Ray and Nicholas Hemachandra for sharing this important story. NC’s Innovations Waiver is lifesaving for 14k disabled, but 17k others languish on waitlist. #ncpol #ncga #2Long2Wait @NASWNC @TheArcofNC https://t.co/7oIIIfaY2C

5/5 DRNC urges #NCGA to #FollowTheOrder and fund 1,600 slots to put us on track to eliminate the waitlist in a decade - as long as many have already been waiting. #MeetTheNeed #UnmetUnmet #2long2wait #NCPOL

Especially problematic is funding institutions without corresponding funding for children and adults to get services in their own homes & communities. #ncpol #ncga #2Long2Wait

Fifteen years is #2Long2Wait. Will the #ncga fully fund the Innovation Waiver waitlist for the 15,500+ people in NC waiting for services? https://t.co/7wddgmpXvh

1,000 Waiver Slots Are Not Enough! Ask your legislators at #ncga to add 2,500 new waiver spots per year until the Innovations Waiver wait list is gone. #2Long2Wait #ncpol https://t.co/7wddgmpXvh

Nearly 15,000 people are waiting for a #NCInnovationsWaiver slot. Some have waited as long as 17 years. The NC Innovations Waiver Action Team says it is #2Long2Wait and is trying to change that. Details: https://t.co/iCwhAmwhX8 #ImprovingLives #MembersMatter
