The Consortium for Citizens with Disabilities (CCD), which includes NAELA, urged Congress to provide dedicated funding for Medicaid Home and Community-based (HCBS) services in the next COVID-19 package. “Those funds are necessary to support the workforce that provides critical services to people with disabilities and aging adults, the service providers that employ that workforce, and the people who rely on those services to live safely in their homes and communities,” notes the letter.
