Governor's Proposed Budget Would Eliminate In-Home Support Services for More Than 180 Low-Income Seniors and People with Disabilities in Amador Co.
A new CBP fact sheet documents the local impact of Governor Schwarzenegger's proposals to severely restrict eligibility for In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and potentially eliminate the program. The IHSS Program helps low-income seniors and people with disabilities live safely in their own homes, thereby preventing more costly out-of-home care. IHSS will provide services to about 180 Amador residents (more than 476,000 Californians) in 2010-11 absent the Governor's proposed reductions.
The proposed reductions will mean a loss of $1,733,000 to Amador Co. beginning in October 2010 and continuing through June 2011. This is money that our county does not have available to keep the IHSS program going and will mean higher unemployment, and worse, the loss of critical benefits to 180 of our friends and neighbors.
