Attention: All participants,
friends & staff of The Homestead Group
Community Meeting - Thursday, July 10th - 5 - 7
p.m.
Homestead Community Center - 80 Fabien St., Woonsocket
Budget decisions have been made by our Governor and our Legislators during
this year’s legislative session.
We have received a huge cut in funding of over $500,000 for this year, on
top of the cuts we received last year. As you know, we have not received any
funding increases in more than six years, while our costs (like yours) for
gasoline, health insurance, food, utilities and everything continues to
skyrocket.
The State of Rhode Island is completely changing the service system for
people with developmental disabilities. Changes for adults include reducing
group home beds, cutting funding for ALL participants, and changing
eligibility processes and choices for most people.
Please attend this critical meeting to provide
suggestions and other alternatives. Major cuts and reductions will be made
for most participants of THG - time is of the essence. Action must be
taken within a few weeks or our entire agency will be in jeopardy.
