California lawmakers are once again targeting the IHSS program to fix the budget deficit. With federal cuts looming, they’re preparing to balance the budget on the backs of home care providers and the people we care for.
For millions of Californians, IHSS is not optional — it is the foundation that allows children, seniors, and people with disabilities to live safely at home. Any cuts to this program put lives at risk and destabilize a care system that is already stretched thin.
Call 866-584-5792 and tell your local assemblymember: NO CUTS TO IHSS!
Here’s what’s at stake:
- Shifting Costs to Counites: The state wants to push more IHSS costs onto counties, making it harder to bargain for higher wages, benefits, and protections for providers.
- Immediate IHSS Termination: Anyone who loses Medi-Cal would be removed from the IHSS program immediately, with no time to appeal or re-enroll if necessary.
- Eliminating Backup Providers: The state wants to eliminate the backup provider system, leaving our clients without care when we’re sick or unable to work.
We cannot allow this to happen! Every call sends a clear message: Home Care Providers will not stand by while the IHSS program is put at risk.
