The Joint Conference Committee of the legislature rejected the proposed $500,000 cut to REquipment! Thank you to everyone who advocated to prevent this devastating cut to the statewide reuse program.
Your advocacy and relationship with your state legislators’ offices made a big, decisive difference.
Please contact the Committee members and thank them for preserving funding for REquipment. Their support makes a world of difference to residents with disabilities and their families, including children, veterans, and seniors throughout the state.
