Until there is a final budget community agencies will be forced to continue to deny services to clients, terminate or reduce hours to staff, and make other cuts to agency budgets.
Community services for people with disabilities, mental illness and autism spectrum disorders cannot exist at 50% funding levels; they cannot exist at 70% funding levels. The state has entrusted the support of persons with disabilities to community organizations.
These agencies have embraced that trust because they are mission-driven with the expertise and commitment to be good stewards of that trust.
Now, it’s the Governor’s and the General Assembly’s turn to do the right thing and fix this mess before it gets worse - pass an FY10 budget that fully funds community services for people with disabilities and mental illness.
