There are 800,000 people with disabilities who are waiting — often for years — to receive care at home. Many more are going into institutions against their wishes.

Learn about the Better Care Better Jobs Act and how it would transform Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). This proposed $400 billion in funding will increase access to services, as well as make a long-overdue investment in the direct care workforce that deliver these services to people with disabilities and aging adults all over the country.

You will hear from lawmakers about what we can expect in Congress and from consumers about the importance of Medicaid-funded HCBS and policy priorities that enable people with disabilities and older adults to live in their homes and communities.CART and ASL will be provided

We will be joined by United States Senator and bill sponsor Senator Bob Casey, Ai-jen Poo Director, Caring Across Generations and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Andraea LaVant, President and Chief Inclusion Specialist, LaVant Consulting and Alene Shaheed, Older Adult HCBS recipient and Self-Advocate.
