STEP ONE - DONE! DAC NW is working hard to restart the accessible rural transportation we lost when COAST closed down. First step was purchasing some accessible vans. They are now at the garage getting tune up and any other repairs needed so they are ready. We will restart transportation in Grangeville and Orofino, as per our grant as soon as possible.

Veterans have said they had received texts from VA asking them to “update their information.” The text included a link that redirected the recipient to a very legitimate looking website where the unsuspecting could enter sensitive personal information for the “update.” This is a scam!

VA does send text messages to Veterans to offer updates on benefits, resources, and reminders for appointments. Veterans should be very cautious if they receive communications that ask for personal information or those that demand immediate payment.

If you receive a suspicious text message (or email) please report it to VHA at (866) 842-4357. Scams related to VA benefits (VBA) should be reported to (833) 388-7233, and Non VA scams should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission at (877) 382-4357, or by contacting the FTC online at http://reportfraud.ftc.gov/ These are all 24/7 contact resources.

01/28/2026

Medicaid home and community-based services are facing potentially drastic cuts in Idaho that will severely impact people with a disability and their in-home service programs. The national median cost of full-time home care is $6,292 per month, compared to $9,277 for a semi-private room in a nursing home. And most people prefer being in their own home and community! Contact your state legislators and let them know how you feel.
