Advocacy Partnership
Homeward Bound has been present for many years at ARRM (our trade association) Day at the Capitol, the disability community’s day to rally and advocate for important issues, such as a COLA (a cost of living adjustment). It is an awe inspiring event, to be among a 1,000 advocates from all over the state, who care and support people with disabilities and want to see that the best services possible are provided to all! Several legislators have been invited and visited Homeward Bound homes. We will continue to reach out to our legislators, to share the critical services that Homeward Bound provides in our communities.
Contact Your Legislator

We urge you to contact your legislators. Find out who represents you.
Please share with your legislator what a vital role Homeward Bound plays in the life of your loved one and why Home & Community-Based Services for people with disabilities are important to you.
