Statement on Approved Federal Budget Cuts

07/7/25


The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025, includes approved reductions to Medicaid’s Home and Community Based Services (HCBS). These changes are deeply troubling in that they shift HCBS from a protected option to one vulnerable to steep federal cuts.

These reductions threaten the essential supports that allow individuals with disabilities to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their communities.

At May Institute, a large percentage of the services we provide are funded through Medicaid and considered “optional” under federal guidelines. For the individuals we serve, these supports are not optional, they are life-sustaining.

Cuts of this magnitude will mean reduced services for those with the most complex needs.

May Institute has been providing high-quality, compassionate care for 70 years. Our commitment to the individuals and families we serve has never been stronger. We will continue to advocate fiercely for the resources our community deserves, and we will not waver in our mission to help every individual thrive.

Now more than ever, we are grateful for our extended May community and for the leadership of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Your partnership, support, and voice matter. Together, we will meet this moment and keep fighting for what’s right.
