We Agree @GovAbbott! Click here to tell TX lawmakers that DSPs who serve Texans with IDD in our communities need a raise to ensure our most vulnerable can receive the care they need ⬇

Texas is focused on helping families. That means:
▪️Improving healthcare for Texans
▪️Expanding access & funding for mental healthcare
▪️Helping our seniors & Texans with disabilities by providing pay increases for caregivers
▪️Increasing maternal care

FACT: Community-based IDD services are still facing the highest staff vacancy and turnover rates in history. Ensure Texans with IDD don’t get left behind. #txleg speak4.app/lp/nx01ps3l/?ts=1…

Group homes and facilities that serve people with #disabilities were hurting for staffers before the pandemic. Now the nationwide job crunch and pandemic pressures are making it even worse. disabilityscoop.com/2021/09/… #specialneeds

An ambitious Biden administration plan to invest $400 billion to transform home and community-based services and get people with #disabilities off waiting lists is in jeopardy, advocates say. disabilityscoop.com/2021/07/… #specialneeds #reconciliation

At this pivotal moment, we call on all lawmakers in Washington to support the inclusion of the full $400b proposal in the forthcoming reconciliation process. Doing so would signal that we are serious about investing in people with disabilities and the communities they call home.

'According to ANCOR, the average direct support professionals (DSPs) turnover rate for human services providers per state in 2020 exceeded 50 percent, in large part due to a median hourly wage for DSPs of just $12.09.'

Texas passed legislation to increase the rate for I/DD services, providing much needed support for the community. We need to maintain that support by passing the NO COST rider to maintain fair rates. #TXlege | #Texas | #SupportTheCaregivers
After 11 years, #TXLege passed a much-needed rate increase for the Direct Support Professionals in TX. Let’s not go backwards! Maintain funding levels that help provide care to the most vulnerable Texans.

There are more than 196,000 jobs in Texas providing direct care for people with intellectual disabilities. These caregivers need our support, not a rate reduction. tinyurl.com/4seen8k9
