“There’s not a week that goes by when I don’t hear from our members about the incredible but undervalued work carried out by our nation’s DSPs.”

…

“But nor is there a week that goes by when I don’t hear about tremendously talented DSPs who love their job but leave the field because they couldn’t stretch their household budget any further.”

The direct support workforce crisis remains the biggest barrier keeping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families from accessing the home- and community-based services (HCBS) they rely on.

As states lose the COVID-era funding that temporarily boosted wages and benefits, providers are struggling to fill the gaps left behind—now made even wider by the $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts signed into law on July 4. Read ANCOR’s latest findings in their all-new report on the direct support workforce crisis: https://www.ancor.org/resources/the-state-of-americas-direct-support-workforce-crisis-2025/?utm_source=toolkit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=workforce25
