Advocacy

• Caregivers of New Jersey and the NJ Lifespan Respite Coalition have created an online petition to help urge Congress to allocate funds into the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006. In FY09 only $2.5 million was budgeted towards the federal act, a very small fraction of the $289 million originally proposed. Click here to learn more about the Act and to sign on in support!
• Public Hearings by the Assembly Budget Committee on the proposed State Budget for Fiscal Year 2010 have been scheduled. Click here for more information.
• The Family Support Center of New Jersey is working diligently to spread the word about how beneficial the resources are that they offer to the New Jersey disability community. If you support our programs and services please consider signing this online petition.
