ACTION ALERTS
The Governor’s January 2025 budget announcement noted that the number of individuals with developmental disabiltiies served by regional centers is expected to grow from 465,165 in the current year to 504,905 next year. However, funding for services hasn’t kept up over the past two decades, and has not addressed this increase in those needing services. Given the many uncertainties that can impact funding, such as the Los Angeles fires, and a new federal Administration that threatens cuts to Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid) programs, we MUST be prepared as a community to fight for vital services for those with disabilities, and their families. And continue to address the workforce shortage! Join our disability rights movement by signing up for our action alerts! Stay informed, and be ready to get involved.
Let’s build a future that will provide Californians with disabilities, their families and the professionals who provide their supports and services a chance to live full and equitable lives. Let’s get on a PATH TO THRIVE!
