Queens Centers for Progress

Queens Centers for Progress Queens Centers for Progress provides services to children & adults with developmental disabilities. More than 1500 people now receive ongoing services from QCP.

Queens Centers for Progress is dedicated to the goal of providing children and adults with developmental disabilities the opportunities to make choices which will maximize their skill development, independence, and integration into community life. At the core of all the agency’s services is the deeply held belief in the development of the individual. QCP believes that all people can learn and that

all people – in spite of any developmental disability – can make meaningful choices about their lives. A developmental disability is defined as a physical or mental condition that develops before age 21, which is likely to continue throughout the individual’s life, and results in the impairment of one or more major areas of life functioning. Cerebral palsy is one type of developmental disability; others include autism, epilepsy, mental retardation, and other neurological impairments. While developmental disabilities cannot be cured, QCP is committed to providing assistance and support to compensate for the limitations the condition imposes, and thereby allowing those affected to live the fullest lives possible. We provide services for people of all ages, from toddlers to the elderly; and for all aspects of life, including providing a place to live and work, health care, hygiene and life skills training, education, therapy, vocational training and recreation.

The Ask:
Use our advocacy tool to tell your members of Congress to protect home and community-based services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) by rejecting further cuts or harmful changes to Medicaid.

The Details:
Medicaid is a lifeline for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). After suffering the largest cut in funding since its creation with the passage of the budget reconciliation law last year, the future of critical home and community-based services (HCBS) continues to be under threat.

As fights over funding continue in Congress, congressional leaders are considering proposals that could result in further cuts in Medicaid funding or other harmful changes. While these ideas are still in the very early stages and remain undefined, they signal potential risks to critical supports for individuals with I/DD.

Proposals that reduce access to federal Medicaid funding threaten community providers and the sustainability of services for people with I/DD. This is a critical moment to come together to safeguard Medicaid home and community-based services.

Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to reject changes to Medicaid that threaten community-based care. https://www.votervoice.net/ANCOR/Campaigns/136395/Respond?vvsn=BshjXAC7ACLThAxOKdh7BAA
