Good Afternoon Everyone!

A key committee in the House released their plans for the budget reconciliation process and, instead of the $400B investment included in President Biden's initial Build Back Better agenda, the committee has only allocated $190B for HCBS services. Attached you will find the letter we will be sending to our Senators urging them to support HCBS programming throughout the budget reconciliation process. We are looking for Members to sign on to the letter, so if you are interested in being listed, please let me know by the end of the next week.

Additionally, you can send a message directly to your Representatives and Senators through ANCOR's Amplifier<https://www.ancor.org/amplifier>. Select the first campaign on the list and you will be taken to a page were you can customize and send a message.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

Stay healthy and have a great day,

Christine
