- As federal protections fade, disabled Americans fear a return to institutions
Disability advocates are concerned that federal and state policy changes and budget cuts could jeopardize home- and community-based care for people with disabilities, risking a return to institutions. Advocates report that the federal government has withdrawn from decades-old requirements, while state leaders are rolling back services citing budget shortfalls. These efforts are being actively fought by advocates like Rob Stone to preserve crucial support systems.
