Tell Congress to protect Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)!

Millions of people with disabilities rely on Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) to live in their homes and be part of their communities. These services help pay for direct support professionals, daily care, and the support people need to live healthy lives in their own communities.

But after the biggest Medicaid cuts in history last year, many states are now struggling to make up for lost funding, which could mean longer waiting lists and less access to these critical services. And now, Congress is considering more cuts!

Tell Congress to protect HCBS. Click the link in the comments to take action now!

We’re proud to see this important message gaining visibility.

An op-ed by Majken Mechling, developed in collaboration with The Arc of Cape May County, was published in Business in New Jersey, highlighting a critical issue facing so many families: planning for the transition from school-based services to adult life.

This is a conversation happening across all Arc chapters, and one that deserves greater awareness and action.

April is Autism Awareness Month. Explore the importance of understanding transitions to adult services for students with Autism.

ArcMorris had the opportunity to spend two impactful days in Washington, DC attending a disabilities policy seminar alongside over 900 community members.

During our visit, we engaged directly with congressional representatives and their staff, sharing perspectives and discussing policies that affect individuals with disabilities and their families. We also connected with fellow advocacy organizations and self-advocates, whose voices and experiences continue to drive meaningful change.

One of the highlights of the trip was attending a rally, led by Michael Wayne O'Neill, standing together to raise awareness and push for continued progress. The energy, passion, and commitment from everyone involved was truly powerful.

This experience was both educational and motivating. Reinforcing the importance of advocacy, collaboration, and persistence in shaping more inclusive policies and communities.
