CCD SNAP Farm Bill Sign On Letter (April 2026)
The undersigned members of the Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD) write to express our grave concern with proposals under consideration for inclusion in the Farm Bill that would reduce access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) rather than restore funding for vital nutrition benefits. We strongly urge Congress to reject any cuts to SNAP and instead restore funding, reverse the harmful reductions enacted under H.R.1, and strengthen benefit adequacy and access for people with disabilities.

CCD HUD Mixed Status Rule
We, the undersigned members of the Consortium for Constituents with Disabilities (CCD) Housing Task Force, are writing to express our strong opposition to the proposed rule from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), “Housing and Community Development Act of 1980: Verification of Eligible Status”. HUD’s proposed rule is contrary to Congressional intent to preserve households and would harm individuals with disabilities by forcing them to choose between housing and the supports that enable them to stay in the community.
