Tell Legislators “Don’t Cut DSP Hours!” DSPs provide essential 24/7 support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Governor’s proposed budget includes $20 million for a 50-cent per hour DSP wage increase, but it also includes a “50% rollback of the CILA rate adjustment factor.” What does this “rollback” mean? A cut of nearly 900,000 DPS hours A loss of at least 430 DSP positions A removal of $32 million in funding from the community residential system The Impact on EP!C We would see a reduction of 6,300+ hours affecting more than 70 people supported which would result in the elimination of DSP direct care positions.
