The House Appropriations Committee will meet this afternoon
and vote on June 28 on a budget that fully eliminates MA/cash benefits for
70,000 Pennsylvanians and decreases human services funding by 10%. The Governor was not able to gain support for
the block grant, but the block grant may reappear in a piloted format. We are
happy that Rep. DiGirolamo championed our cause in opposition to the block
grant.
What can you do?
- Contact Rep. DiGirolamo’s office and thank him for
opposing the block grant.
- Contact your legislator and the House AppropriationsCommittee today and urge them to express their support for funding at the
current year’s level for mental health and substance abuse funding.
-Share with them how this would affect you and/or the individuals
that matter to you.
