Advocacy Updates

CPR was proud to join our disability and aging advocacy colleagues to celebrate the reintroduction of the Disability Integration Act today.

Join the disability community and Protecting Immigrant Families this week to oppose and stop this rule.

CPR submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on their advance notice of proposed rulemaking to oppose potential changes that could weaken the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing regulations.  Affordable, accessible housing is key to people with disabilities being able to live in the most integrated setting in the community.  

A new “public charge” rule was published in the federal register.  The rule would discriminate against immigrants with disabilities and their families seeking to enter the U.S. or get a green card.  Please comment!

On December 21, the U.S. Department of Justice rescinded its Statement on Application of the Integration Mandate of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Olmstead v. L.C. to State and local Governments’ Employment Service Systems for Individuals with Disabilities.

More than 200 disability organizations have signed on to a letter from the disability community to the Department of Justice expressing concern about the recent withdrawal of Olmstead Guidance.

CPR submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Education (ED) opposing a proposed two year delay in requiring compliance with regulations that address racial disproportionality in special education.
