The message is clear, says the coalition, "the California developmental services system needs a 10% increase to stop the current system collapse."
The Lanterman Coalition is calling attention to the systemwide collapse of our Developmental Services system, and the dire need to stabilize our support system or continue the harm to people with disabilities, families, and their support workers. They encourage you to attend the following hearings:
