Introducing an interactive dashboard to learn more about people with disabilities
The Community Living Equity Center (CLEC) is thrilled to launch our new data dashboard that examines who needs and receives Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS) across the United States. While research has been conducted on how disabled people of color access, use, experience, and are affected by education, healthcare, employment, and criminal legal systems, little has been done to understand racial and ethnic disparities in community living. This new dashboard presents data on the percentage and demographic characteristics of racial and ethnic minorities with LTSS needs and their utilization of Medicaid HCBS and institutional LTSS by racial and ethnic categories, as well as other indicators of disparities in community living equity. The disability community has historically faced barriers to accessing information and timely, credible data vital for local communities and individuals to advocate for data-driven responses for equity in policymaking. The dissemination of data through the Community Living Equity Data Dashboard will enable disability advocates from the local levels to advocate for shifts in policies and services to advance community living equity. Jen and Laurin will demonstrate how to use this data dashboard and will discuss the data. The webinar will emphasize how this data dashboard can be used by advocates in the disability community and other stakeholders.
We will be providing ASL and Zoom automated captions. For any other accommodations, please contact us at lurie@brandeis.edu as soon as possible.
