The Arc’s COVID-19 Disability Response Fund

The strain that COVID-19 is putting on our nation’s health care system tests the legal and moral promises our country has made to treat people with disabilities in a way that is fair and just. People with disabilities, their families, and the direct support workforce are particularly vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19, and many across our network are struggling with very real and immediate threats to their health and safety.

This brief details these challenges, what The Arc has been doing to address them, and the work ahead. We hope you will consider joining us as we chart a path forward in a world changed by this pandemic.
