Upcoming Webinar: Looking at HCBS Equity at a State Level
Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are essential for individuals with disabilities to live and participate in their homes and community. Little is known about how HCBS, impacts disabled people of color, and the Community Living Equity Center is thrilled to feature three states and organizations that are beginning to examine equity within their HCBS systems. Attendees will hear from our CLEC stakeholders—New Disabled South, Colorado Department of Healthcare Financing and Policy, and the University of Minnesota—about how each of them got started on identifying HCBS inequities within their state, which data sources were used, and what themes have emerged from their work. The Community Living Policy Center is pleased to be co-hosting this webinar.

Needs and Priorities for Community Living Policy Research: Summary of Stakeholder Roundtables and Community Living Policy Survey
In the Fall of 2022, the Community Living Policy Center (CLPC) convened a series of roundtables with key stakeholders to gain their insights about needs, opportunities, and priorities for future Community Living Policy Research. Stakeholders included disability and aging advocates, state officials and associations representing states, providers and health plans, and individuals with disabilities, including individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and other backgrounds. In June of 2023, in conjunction with the CLPC’s State of the Science convening, we also distributed a Community Living Policy survey to further enhance community input.
