LET'S GO!!

Wear RED and meet us there! These lives matter!

The Maryland Association of Community Services (MACS), in partnership with The Arc Maryland, is urging providers, families, DSPs, and advocates to contact legislators starting tomorrow, March 3, as the General Assembly deliberates the DDA budget.

Governor Wes Moore’s proposed reductions total $155.4 million in State General Funds and $310.8 million overall. If these cuts move forward, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities will have their access to essential supports put at risk.

What’s at stake:
• Reduced one-to-one staffing for people with significant medical and behavioral needs
• A proposed budget cap that could mean fewer service hours, loss of meaningful day opportunities, and even potential discharge from services

These are not abstract numbers. They impact real people, real families, and real lives. For many Marylanders, these services mean stability, safety, independence, and community inclusion.

Take Action: Call or email your legislators and urge them to oppose these DDA budget cuts. Share how these changes would affect you or your loved one.

Communities Are Stronger When Everyone Belongs!

Supporting people with disabilities to live the lives they choose!

We Can’t Go Back. We Won’t Go Back.

People with disabilities cannot go back to institutions. And people with the highest support needs cannot have service reductions and possible service elimination pushed on them, in order to balance the State budget.

The proposed Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) budget cuts would slash $155 million in state funding and more than $310 million when federal matching dollars are included. These cuts threaten the services that allow thousands of Marylanders with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live in their homes and communities.

Institutions or discharge from services cannot be the outcome for people who need these supports the most.

WE ARE FACING A CRISIS, and lawmakers need to hear from our community. When people with disabilities, families, providers, and advocates show up together, it sends a powerful message that these services matter.

Wear red and join the rally in Annapolis. A strong turnout will make clear that Maryland cannot balance the budget on the backs of people with disabilities.

Several friends who receive Personal Supports Services met at Maria’s Restaurant for dinner and lots of laughter and cheer!

DAY HAB

This morning, several individuals in the Day Habilitation program decided to write letters and send emails to their legislators asking for them not to cut their budgets and to protect their services.

Governor Moore - Please think about the individuals that will be affected by these budget cuts. Visit the sites and see who you will be hurting. Check out our FB page and see those smiles that won't be smiling if they can't be included in everyday life.
