Action Alert!

Michigan lawmakers are considering a budget proposal that would devastate direct care agencies. Section 1033 of HB 4706 reduces agency reimbursement rates by $4.56 per hour—a 20% cut—while still requiring agencies to maintain the $3.40/hour raise for workers.

This impossible math will force agencies to slash services, close programs, and leave vulnerable families without support.

With one click, you can tell your lawmakers: protect funding for direct care workers and the agencies that employ them.
