The Coalition for a DSP Living Wage will rally on May 13 to highlight the critical need for lawmakers to invest $54 million of new funding to secure competitive DSP wages and access the $54 million federal match.

Friends, families, colleagues — anyone who values a sustainable DSP workforce is encouraged to join Mike Decker, Eden’s President & CEO, and make our voices heard!
