Powering Independence!
POWER INDEPENDENT LIVING
Our current goal at LINC is to help end Idaho’s direct care worker crisis. Thousands of workers are unable to earn a living wage, and people with disabilities, as well as older adults, are struggling to find the care they need — and every day we wait to take action means more lives are at risk.
We’ve worked with dozens of direct care workers, people seeking support, advocates and other community members who are working to shed light on and solve this crisis.
We want to share people’s stories, raise awareness, and inspire Idahoans to call for a change. The Power Independent Living campaign will promote understanding and inspire action – because for thousands of Idahoans, our shared values of freedom and independence aren’t being upheld. There are lifelong relationships formed by direct care and the challenges that many face right now to find the support they need puts them at risk of being institutionalized.
The impact direct care in the home has on a person with a disability’s life is incredible. And expanding access to those services is the financially responsible thing for Idaho to do. In home care costs lest than institutions!
The time is now to take action and end Idaho’s direct care workforce crisis.
