SUMMARY:Olmstead Subcabinet
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, September 15\, the Olmstead Subcabinet is expected to vote on Minnesota’s new Olmstead Plan. \nMany disability advocates\, including The Arc Minnesota\, are deeply concerned that the proposed plan is grossly insufficient. The goals for areas like housing\, employment\, education\, transportation\, crisis services\, and safety are meaningless\, with improvements of only 1% to 2% over five years. The plan also falls short of creating a strong\, measurable path toward helping people move from segregated settings into fully inclusive community life. \nWe encourage you to attend the meeting and stand with advocates who are calling for a stronger plan and more meaningful community input before a final vote is taken.
