Fairview Housing Trust Fund for Adults with Developmental Disabilities is in Danger

Dear Friends,  

Legislators are in the process of prioritizing programs within the Department of Human Services. They have put the Fairview Housing Trust at the bottom of the priority list and the Trust is at risk for being eliminated.

Problem: Let your legislators know why this Trust is important to people with developmental disabilities in Oregon. Urge Legislators not to abandon their promise to people with developmental disabilities and their families that the funding from the sale of Fairview Training Center  would benefit individuals in the community.

Talking Points:

The Fairview Trust was part of a promise the State of Oregon made to individuals with developmental disabilities when the Fairview Training Center was closed.

The funds from the sale of the property of Fairview Training Center were committed in statute to be placed in trust and be used for the housing modifications and adaptive equipment for individuals with developmental disabilities.

These funds help individuals with developmental disabilities stay in their homes and their communities. These dollars pay for modifications that protect health, safety, and accessibility. They fund adaptive equipment that increases the independence of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Examples of purchases include:

Ramps
Bathroom modifications
Door openers
Fences to keep a child safe
Monitoring systems
Specialized
feeding chair
Communication devices

Deadline for responding: Please take action by Monday, April 04, 2005.

Call your Legislator at the Oregon State Capitol ASAP (see lists of Oregon State Representatives and Oregon State Senators: Phone and e-mail)
