P&A LOSES ALL STATE FUNDING BUT WILL REMAIN STRONG
Despite heroic efforts by countless supporters of P&A, the General Assembly did not amend the Governor’s Office budget, which completely eliminated state funds for P&A. We were heartened by the widespread support for P&A’s role and mission.
We inevitably will have to reduce our services to individuals across the state. With our remaining funding we will, as we have for the last 30 years, continue to vigorously advocate for South Carolinians with disabilities to be free of abuse and to have equal access to education, employment, and justice.
We will update our site to show how these cuts will affect our organizational structure.
