Pass the Community Choice Act
On March 24, 2009 Representative Danny Davis (D-IL) [H.R. 1670] and Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) [S. 683] reintroduced the Community Choice Act (CCA) in Congress. This bill would provide people with disabilities and seniors with the option of receiving home support services rather than having to go into nursing homes and institutions.

Our country needs to give people with disabilities and seniors the real choice of living in their community, and the Community Choice Act would do that. Community choice would also create jobs for people who can work as personal care attendants.
The Community Choice Act would guarantee individual choice as well as provide a real savings in economically troubled times. The CCA will protect the human right of people with disabilities to live in their own homes, instead of being forced into institutions or nursing homes. It will also save America money because community based supports cost far less than what it takes to live in a nursing home. We can no longer deny our citizens the right to live where they choose.
