It summarizes arguments from families that the state centers are the only appropriate homes that can meet the intensive needs of their loved ones.

    To Members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly

    Please represent me
    Vote NO on HB 1650. Do not close the State Centers for individuals with intellectual
    disabilities. The State Centers are Home to them. Because of their intensive needs, there
    is no safe place in the community for our loved ones. The Centers serve them well and it is
    their RIGHT to have the home that meets their needs. The Families say: No one else was
    able to care for my son. My sister has been there for 70 years. My cousin would be
    dead without Center care. I give thanks every day for the State Centers.
    I too am an advocate for the care and safety the Centers provide. Or I am a family member
    or friend. Or I am a concerned citizen and I oppose the closing of the Centers. If
    passed, HB 1650 will close public long-term facilities the Centers for persons with severe
    and profound life-long intellectual disabilities and take the Centers out of the service
    system
    Vote NO on HB 1650. Please visit, we think you will agree. Vote NO.
