Every person deserves the opportunity to live, work, and thrive in their own community with the supports they need. Protecting Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) means protecting independence, dignity, and choice for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Please take a moment to learn more and make your voice heard. Together, we can help ensure the promise of community living remains a reality for those we serve. 💜💛🧡

The Supreme Court has already decided that living in the community is a legal right.

More than 25 years ago, the Supreme Court’s Olmstead decision affirmed that people with disabilities have the right to live in their communities and not be forced into institutions.

That ruling changed millions of lives. But a right on paper only works when people can get the support they need. That’s what Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) make possible.

Congress made the biggest cuts to Medicaid in history last year. Now, many states are considering options that could reduce access to HCBS.

Help keep the promise of Olmstead alive. Tell Congress to protect Medicaid HCBS and the right of people with disabilities to live in their communities. https://bit.ly/4fAVl54
