Fighting for Inclusion at the State House

Help Change Lives

Our Priority Timeline

2024

Rate Reform

Rate reform was fully funded as a result of our work in 2022. $160 million invested into Medicaid services is the largest single-year investment in state history.

Housing

CPNRI led legislation to make housing more accessible for people with disabilities. While the legislation was not passed, we made significant strides in brining Universal Design discussions to the State House. Our work will continue.

2023

Catching up

A total of $75 million in investments made for people with disabilities and the people that support them. After two decades of a lack of investments, Rhode Island has started to reverse that trend for people with disabilities.
