InterHab
Advocacy
InterHab is dedicated to bringing about bold change for Kansans with developmental disabilities.
Our staff and membership take seriously the responsibility to work with local, state, and federal policymakers to ensure that all Kansans with developmental disabilities have the opportunities to live inclusive lives as independently as possible.
Much has been accomplished over the last 50+ years, but with each new political era comes new challenges. We are focused on ensuring that community supports and services providers have the necessary tools and funding to provide quality life experiences and outcomes for the Kansas IDD community. And, we are focused on holding the State accountable to its requirements under state and federal law.
