Press Release (MADISON) \u2013 The Survival Coalition of more than 20 statewide disability organizations thanks Governor Tony Evers for his proposed budget including significant investments to improve the lives of people with disabilities across the lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Governor\u2019s budget includes a historic, sum-sufficient commitment of 60% state funding for special education to local schools: a move that ensures our local public schools have needed funds to address the growing funding gaps for all kids. Survival Coalition also applauds the Governor\u2019s investment in recognizing much-needed school-based mental health services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Survival is also glad to see the proposed budget\u2019s critical investments in non-driver transportation funds, community supports to keep children with significant disabilities with their families and out of institutions, and a much-needed increase to investigate abuse and neglect complaints against people with disabilities and more closely monitor 1- and 2-bed adult family homes. People with disabilities \u00a0are at 7 times the risk of abuse compared with the non-disabled population.
