CHA & Aging & Disability Stakeholders Respond to the 2023-24 Proposed Budget

California Health Advocates > Advocacy & Policy > Letters and Comments to Policymakers > CHA & Aging & Disability Stakeholders Respond to the 2023-24 Proposed Budget

California Health Advocates, as part of the California Collaboration for Long Term Services and Supports (CCLTSS), submitted this letter of response to the Governor’s 2023-24 proposed budget. CCLTSS is compromised of nearly 60 state and regional aging and disability organizations that promote dignity, health, and independence in community living.

The letter:

  • Thanks the Governor for his continued commitment and expresses appreciation for preserving investments made in 2021-22
  • Underscores 2023-24 budget investments that impact older/ disabled adults
  • Highlights missed opportunities
  • Urges focus and attention on the growing older/ disabled adult population and ways to transform ageism into positive images of our older/disabled adult population

Some of the positives of the proposed budget include:

  • The continued investment in the Master Plan for Aging to remedy longstanding inequities in California’s systems that support older adults and people with disabilities
  • Increased cash assistance in the SSI/SSP program, maintained expansion of Medi-Cal coverage and affordability
  • Funding to support the implementation of CalAIM
  • Investments in housing and homelessness
  • Continued support for COVID-19 response, and
  • Commitment to working towards universal LTSS coverage in California

Read the letter for full details.
