Action Alert: Urge Congress to Fund and Support Critical HCBS Legislation (ncil.org)

In the absence of adequate funding and legislative backing, many may be compelled to enter institutional care, which is at odds with the intentions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Supreme Court’s Olmstead ruling.
