For more than 25 years, the Olmstead decision has affirmed a fundamental right: people with disabilities deserve to live, work, and thrive in their communities—not in institutions.
At The Arc Pikes Peak Region, we see every day how Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) help make that right a reality. These services provide critical supports that allow people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live independently, build relationships, pursue employment, and participate fully in community life.
Recent Medicaid cuts and proposed state-level changes could put access to these essential services at risk, threatening the progress made since Olmstead became law.
People with disabilities belong in their communities. Join us in urging Congress to protect Medicaid HCBS and preserve the supports that make community living possible.
