The Self-Advocates of Calhoun County, a joint initiative of The Arc of Calhoun County and Community Inclusive Recreation (CIR), have recently secured a grant from the Battle Creek Community Foundation.

Michigan’s state budget would have a hole of over $2.9 billion with current SNAP and Medicaid cuts in 2026, and $26 billion over ten years from Medicaid alone. This would force the state to make difficult decisions and potentially cut optional Medicaid services. Optional services include many services that disabled people rely on, including HCBS, employment and education supports, and more.
