📣 Momentum is building for Direct Support Professionals — and your voice matters! 📣

Bipartisan support continues to grow for the Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act (H.R. 6137), a bill that would direct the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a distinct occupational classification for DSPs. This is an important step toward better recognition, data tracking, and long-term workforce support for the professionals who provide essential care every day.

In recent weeks, several new members of Congress have signed on as cosponsors, including leaders who serve on the House Committee on Education and Workforce — a strong sign of growing momentum for this effort.

Now it’s more important than ever to keep the pressure on and urge more lawmakers to support this legislation.

👉 Take action today: Use the link below to contact your members of Congress and ask them to support this bill: https://www.ancor.org/actions/tell-congress-to-cosponsor-the-recognizing-the-role-of-dsps-act/

We’re excited to share that our partner organization, Integrate for Good, is offering special programs designed to create meaningful, inclusive experiences for individuals with disabilities — and we encourage our individuals and families to check them out!

These programs provide great opportunities to build skills, make connections, and enjoy new activities in a supportive community setting. We’re grateful for partners like Integrate For Good who expand what’s possible beyond our own programs and help open even more doors for the people we serve.
