🚨 Mass Layoffs, Office Closures, and a Radical Restructure at HHS -Including Dismantling the Administration for Community Living: What’s at Stake?! The Department of Health and Human Services is undergoing sweeping changes — including layoffs, office closures, and the dismantling of the Administration for Community Living (ACL). But what does this mean for the people who rely on these vital services? ACL supports a wide range of programs helping older adults and people with disabilities live independently, access care, and connect to their communities. From caregiver support and nutrition programs to assistive technology, independent living, and protection and advocacy networks — these aren’t just services. They’re lifelines. If ACL programs are absorbed into other agencies, what will be lost? And who gets to decide which services are “critical”? 📖 Learn more: https://www.medicarerights.org/medicare-watch/2025/03/27/hhs-announces-sweeping-cuts-that-threaten-access-to-critical-services 📣 Now is the time to understand, speak up, and protect what matters. #disabilityrights #AgingWithDignity #ProtectACL #MyCILStrong #MyCIL #InclusionMatters #AdvocateForIndependence #IndependentLiving #aclprograms #HHS (fb)
