Medicaid is on the chopping block, and we need you to contact your Members of Congress now.
Congress wants to make extreme cuts to domestic spending, including up to $880 billion for Medicaid. While it is unclear how Medicaid programs will be cut, it is clear that cutting Medicaid funding this severely will cause millions of Americans to lose access to medical and long-term care, as well as specialized benefits like housing support.
We need to urge Congress to protect Medicaid from deep cuts so we can support the health of every member of our communities, including people experiencing homelessness.
3 KEY WAYS TO ADVOCATE TODAY:
