The Pennsylvania General Assembly finalized a budget deal with an overall spend of $47.6 billion and a projected surplus of $10.6 billion by June 30th, 2025. The legislature finalized a significant overall investment of $354 million in I/DD services including $280 million to lift DSP wages. Additionally, a new rate increase of 7% was finalized as part of this investment. New rates are anticipated to be published on Aug. 31st, effective on Oct. 1st, and retroactive to July 1st. This overall investment in I/DD services represents a step in the right direction and a commitment by Governor Shapiro and the General Assembly to prioritize I/DD services and increasing quality of care for the individuals we proudly serve.

National Disability Independence Day commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act on July 26th, 1990! 💙 The ADA is a civil rights law that aims to promote equal opportunities for people with disabilities, and to ensure their freedom from discrimination in all aspects of life. The day also serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by people with disabilities, and the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and empowerment. #DisabilityIndependence

Two exceptional little girls got to go home this month from our Children's Transitional Homes! 🎉 Layla and Leylanie, lit up the KenCrest homes with their smiles and kind hearts throughout their time. Both families are ecstatic to have their babies home and all together. 💙 “When I originally learned about Leylanie’s medical needs, it was terrifying. My home was not ready for her yet, so I talked with her doctors about other options, and they mentioned KenCrest. I never miss a beat because of them now, and I appreciate KenCrest for everything they’ve done for me and my family.” Learn more about our Transitional Homes and how KenCrest pioneered this care model to get medically fragile children out of the hospital and into a more home-like setting: https://lnkd.in/eFgTVHGS
