Advocacy is so important when it comes to Supported Living. People with developmental and intellectual disabilities are rarely a priority for statewide funding. Staff must deal with sky rocketing living costs while wages stagnate.
PSRS is committed to bringing visibility, voice, and attention to the challenges endured by supported living providers, the people we support, and our dedicated staff. We always need help - you can get involved. Learn more by reading some of our stories, and talking to your legislators.
Advocacy is needed year round, every year! Here are some things you can do to stand with PSRS and Supported Living. If you have ideas, or want to share how you are making an impact, we'd love to hear from you!
Contact your legislators. Take a stand for people with disabilities, their families, direct care staff, and others by meeting with, or calling/writing your legislators.
Get the Facts about Supported Living and wages, then get out the word - share it with your legislators, family, co-workers, friends, and neighbors.
