Coming Events
Many families are receiving notices of cuts or termination of PCA services. Appeal immediately in writing - here are the steps to take.
Ten questions, 10 minutes - that's all it takes. Watch for the confidential Census questionnaire in the mail in March. Federal dollars for MN are based on census data. Participation matters.
A home of your own? Arc's new Housing Access Services are designed to make that dream a reality for people with disabilities.
