The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is in the process of updating its Olmstead Plan and is looking for feedback through its online website at https://www.mass.gov/forms/olmstead-planning-committee-plan-development-feedback.

The Olmstead Plan memorializes the Commonwealth’s commitment to promote opportunities for persons with disabilities to live, work, and be served in community-based settings. The Commonwealth released its first Olmstead plan in 2008. This updated Olmstead Plan “tracks the progress that the Commonwealth has made towards achieving that Olmstead plan’s goals, as well.”  Take a look here (https://www.mass.gov/forms/olmstead-planning-committee-plan-development-feedback) and tell them what you think!
