@KS_DD_Council process. We strongly encourage the Kansas Legislature to add significant dollars to the Governor’s budget to reduce both waitlists by at least 20%, so that 2024 becomes the first year of a five-year plan to Eliminate the Wait for HCBS in Kansas.
Joint statement from Sara Hart Weir, Executive Director of the @KS_DD_Council, and Rocky Nichols, Executive Director of the Disability Rights Center of Kansas, responding to Governor Laura Kelly’s budget amendment on HCBS Waitlists🧵tinyurl.com/2smtwah2
@KS_DD_Council 🧵We are pleased that the Governor amended her budget to add 250 slots each to reduce the waitlists on IDD and PD Waivers, which would reduce the IDD waitlist by a little less than 5% and cut the PD waitlist by just over 10%. This is the first step in a long appropriations
