Board of DD levy increase heading to November vote – here’s what you need to know

The Board of Developmental Disabilities is set to propose a 10-year levy increase that would nearly double annual contributions from homeowners, generating an additional $94.5 million each year. This significant hike aims to bolster funding for critical services and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. The upcoming November vote will determine whether this substantial financial commitment will be approved, which could have long-term implications for the quality and availability of care in the community. This move underscores the growing need for robust funding to meet the evolving demands of developmental disability services.
