TIME TO TAKE ACTION! The Brokerage Services that you and people you love count on are primarily funded by Medicaid. A budget resolution passed this week seriously threatens services to people with disabilities across the nation. Now is the time to tell federal lawmakers to vote NO on cuts to Medicaid. Use this call-in line to reach your member of Congress today: 866-426-2631.

Our statewide Brokerage association will soon have a new look and name!

Today is the 12th anniversary of forming our Brokerage association, and I am incredibly excited to share that we will soon be adopting a new name: Oregon Community Brokerages! Our website will also soon be changing, with a new logo and look. What's not changing is our mission: we will continue to advocate for self-determination from top to bottom in IDD services. More to come, and cheers to a new year of renewal and reinvigoration!
