(LTSS) to support their needs and to live as independently as possible. This includes assistance with daily activities, such as getting dressed, taking medication, preparing meals, job coaching, residential supports, and managing money. However, the nation has lacked a comprehensive, proactive national public-private system of delivery. The current system is a patchwork of inadequate funding, with the main source of federal funds provided by the Medicaid program, which requires most people to be impoverished to receive services and has a bias toward institutional settings rather than in the community.<\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about The Arc\u2019s position on community-based long term supports and services by reading <a

the supports necessary to live as independently as possible is critical for people with I\/DD.<\/p>\n<p>Medicaid is overwhelmingly the largest source of funding of long term supports and services for persons with disabilities. But currently individuals who want to receive their long term supports and services in community settings are not entitled to home and community-based services (HCBS). States have the option \u2014 but are not required \u2014 to fund HCBS programs, and the demand greatly outpaces the availability, creating waiting lists and an unknown number of people not even on the radar of the service delivery system.<\/p>\n<p>There are currently over 500,000 people with disabilities on waiting lists for home and community-based long term services and supports. The wait can be as long as 8-10 years in some states. This crisis results in unnecessary, unwanted, and costly institutional care; the desires of people with I\/DD to live in and be a part of the community being denied; family members being forced to quit jobs or take on second jobs to help care for their loved one; and having to leave their loved ones unattended. And a well-trained, fairly compensated direct support professional workforce is essential to providing the necessary supports and services to our constituents where they live and work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
