Mike Ervin is a writer, activist and one of more than 27,000 consumers in the Illinois Home Service Program. Home care workers help Mike and thousands of others with everyday tasks like getting out of bed, getting dressed and getting around. Mike’s story is featured in a new radio ad calling on the General Assembly to protect home care for Illinois residentswith disabilities from deep cuts. Listen to the ad…
Cuts to HSP mean that consumers like Mike could face sharp reductions in hours of care or lose their care altogether. As Mike says, consumers’ needs don’t go away if the HSP budget is cut— people with disabilities will only be forced into institutions at a significantly higher cost to the state.
“This program means so much to the people who use it – it means they can stay healthy and independent in their own homes,” said Ann Ford, Executive Director of the Illinois Network of Centers for Independent Living. “When people receive care at home, it saves the state millions. Cutting this program just doesn’t make sense.”
