Senator Sweeney with advocates including ArcBP President/CEO at the Senate budget hearing. Senator Sweeney sponsored S-1194 to provide a supplemental appropriation for FY 2020 to raise the wages of Direct Support Professionals. The bill was unanimously voted out of committee. Thank you to all our Legislators who supported this important bill. Look for more information as the bill moves to the full Senate and also through the Assembly.

Kathy Walsh, President/CEO with Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly at the Statehouse advocating for a competitive wage for our wonderful direct care staff. Thank you ASM Wimberly for supporting individuals with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families. #strongerfairernj = #IndexDSPwages #WeCan'tWait
