Dear Living Resources Families, Self-Advocates, and Community Partners,
At Living Resources, we remain deeply committed to protecting the rights, dignity, and inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We share New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities Commissioner Willow Baer's concerns regarding the recent U.S. Department of Justice opinion and strongly support New York State's continued commitment to the principles established by Olmstead v. L.C.. We encourage you to read Commissioner Baer's message below, which reaffirms the importance of community integration, self-determination, and the fundamental civil rights of the people we support.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Martin
CEO
----
We should all be deeply alarmed and profoundly disappointed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s opinion issued last week that seeks to narrow the scope of protections afforded under Olmstead v L.C., one of the most significant civil rights decisions for people with disabilities in our nation’s history.
The promise of Olmstead is clear: people with disabilities have the right to live, work, and participate fully in their communities. For more than a quarter of a century, that promise has guided states, advocates, families, and self-advocates in advancing opportunities for people with disabilities to live lives of dignity, independence, and inclusion.
In New York, we understand what is at stake. The painful history of Willowbrook State School, shuttered nearly 40 years ago, remains a powerful reminder of the consequences of segregation and exclusion of people with developmental disabilities. New York’s decades-long effort to build community-based supports and services was born from the recognition that people with disabilities are entitled to the same freedoms, choices, and opportunities as everyone else.
Community integration is not a privilege or based on convenience; it is a civil right that New York will continue to fiercely protect. Anything less represents a shameful and troubling step backward.
New York remains unwavering in its commitment to the values embodied in Olmstead and will continue to champion self-determination, expand opportunities for community living, and work alongside people with disabilities, families, advocates, providers, and our government partners to ensure that every person has the opportunity to lead a life of meaning, connection, and purpose in the community of their choosing.
In Solidarity,
Willow Baer
Commissioner

We wanted to share some of the wonderful moments we’ve had at our Lolik residential house over the past couple of weeks. The individuals we support have been truly enjoying a variety of meaningful, exciting activities that perfectly reflect Living Resources’ core values of inclusivity, empowerment, and collaboration.
Empowerment comes alive when our residents get to choose and lead activities that bring them joy and independence. Lately, that has looked like taking in the beautiful scenery during peaceful nature walks along the Hudson River, spending afternoons fishing with staff, and hitting the mall for a bit of shopping and exploring. Even simple van rides have turned into small adventures of their own, often leading to warm, wholesome dinners out in the community where everyone can relax and enjoy time together.
Collaboration and inclusivity are also at the heart of everything we do, and the past few weeks have been full of opportunities to foster deep connections. The individuals had the wonderful experience of engaging socially with members of the public during their community outings, making each trip both fun and enriching. Plus, our strong bond as an agency shines brightest when our houses team up! Lolik received a special birthday invitation from our sister house, Longmeadow, which was an event filled with laughter, shared stories, and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Overall, it’s been a fantastic few weeks full of positive experiences, active community engagement, and memorable moments. We are so proud of the staff and residents at Lolik for building such an inclusive, supportive, and vibrant environment!
