Utah lawmakers are considering deep cuts to disability services, including a proposed 10% reduction to DSPD funding and the elimination of the Limited Supports Waiver. These changes would have devastating consequences for people with disabilities and their families who rely on Home and Community-Based Services to live safely and with dignity in their communities.

A state-commissioned rate study already found that DSPD providers are underpaid and struggling to maintain services, yet this budget proposal moves in the opposite direction. If these cuts move forward, the impact will be immediate and severe.

What’s at stake:

No movement off the DSPD waitlist until at least 2028

Worsening workforce shortages as DSP wages fall below entry-level jobs

Reduced safety and individualized supports, pushing services closer to an institutional model

Cuts to caregiver compensation, increasing strain on families

Elimination of the Limited Supports Waiver, leaving many without critical assistance

These services help people with disabilities work, participate in their communities, and avoid far more costly institutional care. Cutting funding will not save money—it will shift the burden onto families, emergency systems, and hospitals while eroding quality of life for thousands of Utahns.

This is not just a budget decision. It is a decision about who Utah chooses to support.

One for the books 🥹✨
We had the honor of taking our clients to their very first sit-down restaurant ever. From reading the menu, to placing their order, to waiting for the food and enjoying it at the table—every moment mattered.

It wasn’t just a meal. It was confidence, independence, and a brand-new experience shared together. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do 💛

Here’s to firsts, big smiles, and memories that last far beyond the table. 🍽️✨
