The U.S. House is considering severe cuts to developmental disability programs in the upcoming federal budget (Fiscal Year 2027). If this happens, over 40,000 people in Ohio could lose important services that help them live safely and independently as soon as October 1.

What can you do? Tell your member of Congress to fully fund all disability programs at https://secure.everyaction.com/XYW-0OhZI06ekcro-u-cGA2.

In Ohio, programs at risk include:
• The Ohio State University Nisonger Center
• University of Cincinnati Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UC UCEDD)
• Disability Rights Ohio

These programs have existed for over 50 years and are critical to protecting rights and supporting community living.

More info in comments.
