Take Action: Fight for Home Care

Email Congress: Full Funding for Home and Community Based Services

Right now, there are over 820,000 disabled children, adults, and seniors who are stuck on a years-long waiting list for lifesaving home- and community- based care. This is a crisis, and we need full funding to fix it.

Congress just released their proposed budget — and what they’ve put forward is far less than what is needed to meet these urgent needs.

It’s time to fight for full funding for home- and community-based services. Email your Senators now to let them know we need full funding for home- and community-based services.

Your Letter *

I care deeply about home and community based services for people with disabilities, and my community does as well. We are the constituents who voted you into office, and we are counting on you to be a leader, and fight for full funding for home and community based services in reconciliation. 820,000 people with disabilities are languishing on the waiting list for these services, often for years. This is not optional, nice-to-have care; this is critical, urgent, lifesaving care that lives depend on. When it is not available, the only recourse is for these individuals to be sent away from their lives and families and communities and placed in institutions that we know are not capable of protecting people during a pandemic. 135,000 human lives have been lost to Covid-19 in nursing homes. This cannot be who we are -- but it is, until we change things. You can be a leader in the solution: fully funding home and community based services in reconciliation. Please do right by all of us and help us change this terrible status quo.

Sincerely,
[your name will go here]
