📢 Write to Your Legislators about the State Budget 📢

Right now, New Jersey's FY2027 budget decisions are being made, and thousands of people with disabilities are counting on us to speak up.
More than 1,800 New Jerseyans with significant intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on Extended Employment, Supported Employment, and Direct Support Professionals to access meaningful work and daily structure. But funding cuts and instability are putting these critical services at risk.

We need the FY2027 budget to:
✅ Restore and stabilize Extended Employment slot value funding
✅ Protect Supported Employment reimbursement rates through DVRS programs
✅ Secure ongoing wage funding for Direct Support Professionals
We are calling on advocates, families, providers, and allies to take action.
Your voice can make a difference, and it only takes a minute

💡 Did you know that employing individuals with disabilities drives real economic power?

ACCSES NJ and its 38 member organizations are proving it every day.

📊 A recent analysis by the Rockefeller Institute of Government revealed the powerful economic footprint these organizations create across New Jersey:

✅ $82.1M in total economic output
✅ $42.7M in economic value added
✅ 1,587 individuals with disabilities directly employed
✅ $7.5M in federal and state tax revenue generated

From North to South to Central NJ, this impact is being felt statewide.
This isn't just a workforce story. It's an economic one.

When we create pathways for individuals with disabilities to work, everyone benefits; our communities, businesses, and the broader economy.
