Action alert: The state legislature will soon meet to compare House and Senate versions of the human services finance bill. The Senate’s version of the bill includes a fully funded community care hub, but the House version does not include any funding for the hub.

We are asking the entire Juniper network to contact members of the conference committee and their staff to urge them to adopt the Senate version of the human services finance bill. This is a critical moment for the community care hub and we need your support!

Find contact information and a call/email script at the link below. Thank you for supporting the Juniper Community Care Hub!
