In 2019, advocacy efforts locally, as well as in Sacramento, helped garner a small temporary increase in funding for some adult programs. “Working with passionate and committed folks throughout the state, we made significant progress this year for the developmental disability community,” shared Assemblymember Chris Holden. Villa thanks all those who helped advocate for this change including Senator Henry Stern, Assemblymember Chris Holden, and Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian for continuing to champion the needs of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities. Thank you for advocating for potential.
