## Summary

**Independent living** is the central aim of this resolution. It would push to reduce institutional segregation and expand home- and community-based services and employment so people with disabilities can live and work in their communities. - Medicaid recipients: the resolution would admonish against Medicaid program cuts and burdensome work-reporting requirements that threaten the health and community living of people with disabilities. - States: the resolution would urge states to improve funding for and access to home- and community-based services and to expand access to employment for individuals with disabilities. - Federal agencies: it would call on the Department of Labor, the Federal Communications Commission, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Transportation, and FEMA to provide policies, technical assistance, staffing, and accessibility supports across employment, communications, housing, transit, and emergency preparedness.
