Happy Disability Pride Month! 😊 This month is a time to embrace differences, empower every voice, and celebrate the resilience, achievements, and contributions of people with disabilities. Disability Pride Month commemorates the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, and aims to raise awareness about the importance of disability rights and inclusion.

As the State of Illinois continues to re-evaluate the proposed FY 25 budget, we have yet another opportunity to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). The Dignity in Pay Act, HB 793, presents a transformative opportunity to phase out payment of subminimum wages to Illinoisans with disabilities. This shift in focus of financial and human resources will enable community providers, like Glenkirk, to not only maintain but also expand community-based employment supports. Our Employment Services program, a cornerstone of a fulfilled life for people with I/DD, will be further strengthened. Supported employment, a key component of this program, paves the way for increased economic empowerment and self-advocacy. In 2020, Glenkirk eliminated all subminimum wage work. Since then, the average hourly wage for people supported through our Employment Services has increased to $14.25, allowing for greater economic independence. The Dignity in Pay Act would enable more providers to eliminate subminimum wages by increasing Supported Employment Rates to fund and expand community employment opportunities. In addition, this bill would increase the Personal Needs Allowance for residents of group home settings throughout the state from the current amount of $60 per month to $100 per month. Today, we are asking our advocates to join us in supporting the Dignity in Pay Act through our partner IARF. We urge you to contact your member(s) of the Illinois House of Representatives and express your support for the act by saying, "I stand for Dignity in Pay!" Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for your continued advocacy. We are grateful to our community for the impact they have had in improving the quality of life for people with I/DD throughout Illinois. We look forward to the eventual passage of HB 793, and the transformational impact it will have on people with disabilities in the State of Illinois. Your messages really make a difference.
