Thank you Senate Finance!
May 13, 2025 - Community Support Network, Inc. thanks members of the Senate Finance Committee for your support in funding the DD waitlist for the coming biennium, and eliminating the proposed 3% cut to Medicaid rates! Senators heard the advocacy of their constituents, and we greatly appreciate your support to continue allowing individuals with disabilities to thrive in their communities.
We are not past the finish line yet! Please continue sharing your stories with your Senators to ensure changes are not made to the Senate Finance proposal. Please, also, consider reaching out to members of the Senate Finance Committee to thank them for their support of DD funding!
We need your help to protect I/DD Services Waiver Funding!
Contact Senate Finance today to ask them to protect developmental disability services
April 4, 2025 - To share your family's story with Senate Finance and tell them what a cut to funding would mean to your family, click the button below. Scroll down to "Finance", then press "Email Entire Committee". You are encouraged to be as honest as possible about how a cut to services would impact you and your family - what would happen:
- If you or your loved one couldn't obtain funding for Community Participation/Day Program support?
- If there were no residential service funds available as you or your loved ones age and need more support?
- If you or your loved one aged out or graduated from school, and there was no money left for adult services for them?
- If your Participant Directed Services (PDMS) budget was reduced?
- If you or your loved one experienced increased behavioral or medical support needs and there was no money available to fund the increased support they needed?
- If your or your loved one's staffed residence closed and funding was unavailable for them to find somewhere new to live?
These are real possibilities as New Hampshire Developmental Services faces a possible $63 million+ budget cut over the next two years. Please, ask your Senate Finance representatives today to preserve Developmental Services Funding.
