Where We Live

Disability advocates respond to Trump administration proposals


Listen Later

One in five Americans have a disability. That’s according to the United States Census Bureau.

The Trump administration has released statements promising to protect programs like medicaid, medicare and Social security - programs that people with disabilities rely on everyday.

But in his recommendation for funding for fiscal year 2026, President Trump proposed cuts to housing for persons with disabilities and cuts to the National Institute of Disability.

Today, we hear about the future of disability services from people living with disabilities.

  • Corey Pheez Lee: More Than Walking Peer Mentor Coordinator, Hip-hop artist and host "Super Adaptables" Podcast with More Than Walking
