VOR Submits Testimony for Record Asking Senate to Prohibit Federal Funding for Forced Deinstitutionalization; Hundreds of Choice Advocates Share Their Support
VOR is a national organization that advocates for high quality care and human rights for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). VOR calls on the Senate to prohibit the use of U.S. Department of Justice appropriations in support of deinstitutionalization activities which evict eligible individuals with I/DD from their HHS-licensed and funded Medicaid homes, in violation of federal law.
Nearly 500 advocates for family members and friends also submitted a statement for the record in support for VOR’s testimony.
