Rural Nevada, Maryland, Tennessee, and Indiana are all facing challenges when it comes to housing, transportation, and disability assistance. In rural Nevada, there is a lack of low-income housing, while in Maryland, proposed budget cuts would impact disability assistance. Tennessee’s Disability Day on the Hill focuses on advocating for equal access to education, housing, transportation, and healthcare for individuals with disabilities. In Indiana, Medicaid cuts are threatening coverage of ABA therapy for individuals with autism. Advocates in Indiana are pushing back against the proposed cuts and advocating for coverage based on individual need rather than a set time limit. The challenges faced in these states highlight the importance of ongoing advocacy and support for individuals with disabilities to ensure they have access to the resources they need to thrive.
