Greene Arc, Inc. Commends Governor Shapiro for Signing SB 1001, Boosting Funding for Intellectual Disability and Autism (ID/A) Services
August 8th, 2024 – Greene Arc, Inc. is pleased to announce that our Executive Director, Travis Duncan, and Chief Financial Officer, Amy Heckman, had the honor of meeting with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro to extend our heartfelt gratitude on behalf of our organization and the individuals we serve. Governor Shapiro's signing of SB 1001, the general appropriations act for the fiscal year 2024-2025, marks a significant victory for our community.

​

The bipartisan budget, totaling $47.7 billion, includes substantial investments across various sectors, with a special focus on the Intellectual Disability and Autism (ID/A) Services. These increased allocations will provide much-needed support to the individuals and families we are privileged to serve, as well as the Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) who dedicate their lives to this vital work.Key highlights of the budget include:

 

• $17.4 million (10%) increase for Intermediate Care Facilities (ICFs)
• $13.9 million (13.8%) for State Centers
• $34 million (51.2%) for expanded Medical Assistance for Workers with

  Disabilities (MAWD) eligibility​

​• $9.1 million (4.9%) for Early Intervention programs
• $9.1 million (6.1%) for ID-Community Base
• $3.5 million (11%) for Autism Intervention services​

These investments are a testament to the tireless advocacy and commitment of our community, ensuring that individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities/autism receive the support and opportunities they deserve.

 

The increased funding for Intermediate Care Facilities, Autism Intervention services, and expanded Medical Assistance for Workers with Disabilities will help us continue to provide high-quality care and support for those who rely on our services.

 

"Governor Shapiro's leadership and dedication to supporting individuals with disabilities/autism is truly commendable," said Travis Duncan, Executive Director of Greene Arc, Inc. "This budget reflects a deep understanding of the needs of our community and represents a critical step forward in ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

 

"In addition, we extend our sincere thanks to Clemmy Allen, Executive Director of UMWA Career Centers, for hosting the ceremonial bill signing for new investments in vocational-technical education, apprenticeships, and job training, which allowed for the opportunity to meet Governor Shapiro. These initiatives are essential in providing pathways to meaningful employment for the individuals in our community, and we are grateful for the continued support of UMWA Career Centers in this vital work.

 

Greene Arc, Inc. remains committed to advocating for and supporting individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities/autism and those in mental health recovery. We look forward to working alongside Governor Shapiro and other leaders to build a more inclusive and supportive Pennsylvania.
