Our mission is not a line item.

Governor Kehoe’s proposed state budget includes deep cuts to developmental disability services. For the Individuals Served by our team, these services aren’t just line items on a spreadsheet—they are the tools for a life of independence and dignity.

The budget process is just starting, which means we still have a chance to change the outcome. Legislators need to hear from real people.
