Participate in Community Living Ontario’s Initiative – #5toSURVIVE

 

Ontario’s current strategy for developmental services has a vision that people with developmental disabilities will be “supported by their communities, support networks and government to belong and live inclusive lives.”

Unfortunately, the organizations whose mission it is to support people to live inclusive lives are being starved of the resources they need just to keep the heat and lights on, to put gas in their accessible vehicles, to buy food to feed people, and to try to find qualified staff during a human resource crisis. In the face of rising inflation and skyrocketing costs, it is becoming impossible to meet the needs of the people they are committed to supporting. This is putting people’s lives at risk.

We are calling on the Ontario government to provide an immediate 5% boost to developmental services agency core funding, as well as Passport and Special Services at Home. Make your voice heard alongside ours — send a message to your representatives at Queen’s Park to tell them the developmental services sector needs #5ToSurvive
