Fighting for Inclusion at the State House

Help Change Lives

Legislative Priority Timeline

2025

Funding

Services for people with disabilities are essential for thousands of Rhode Islanders. This legislation will continue to provide adequate funding that will result in improving and continuing support. The bill is still being developed. We will update with information soon.

Housing

More accessible housing is needed for people with disabilities and older adults. HB 5268 & SB 714 will break down housing barriers and require new apartment buildings and condos to be built accessibly. The legislation has been referred to committee and is awaiting a hearing.

Social Media Views (2022-Present)

Social media is one of the most powerful influences on culture. Yet, a 2019 study by Kantar Group, showed that 7 out of every 10 social media posts about people with disabilites were negative. In response, CPNRI set out to change the narrative by sharing stories of disability empowerment. On social media, we have two main goals:

  • Increase conversations about disability
  • Share personal stories about disability

Together, we are building a community.
