    My Home, My Life, a network of families of adults with developmental disabilities, needs your support!

    MHML has received funding through King County for 10 years, but is not included in this year’s proposed County budget.

    This is a primary source of parent information for 800 families and a devastating loss.

    The cut also defies logic. It is far more cost-effective to leverage family supports in the community than to provide residential supports.

    The Immediate Fix:

    The County’s budget has not yet been finalized! For the next two weeks, we still have opportunities to lobby the County Council for funding for My Home, My  Life.

    You can testify on-line here: http://www.kingcounty.gov/council/budget/Testify_Online.aspx

    You can e-mail Councilmember Joe McDermott here: joe.mcdermott@kingcounty.gov

    Thanks!
