As a Board member of Community Living Alternatives, I know how much of a constant financial struggle it is to fairly compensate the Direct Service Providers who support our Residents. Medicaid rates have never fully reimbursed CLA for the range of care that we provide them so that they can live the fullest life possible, and the loss of County financial support has hit us very hard. Please do everything you can to help Agencies like us continue to give our Residents the very best quality of life. Thank you.
