People with IDD need your support in the FY27 Budget!
A 3% COLA increase for home and community-based services would protect supports for people with IDD, provide safe and reliable care, and address rising operational costs for providers. This funding would also help to increase wages for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to outpace minimum wage and reflect their value to people with IDD and their families.
Senator Zwicker and Assemblywoman Murphy have sponsored resolutions to include this funding in the FY27 Budget. Contact your legislators and tell them to support Senate Resolution #261 and Assembly Resolution #131!
Please take action here!
