You helped keep the CRCs in Governor Brown's Budget!

UPDATE July 2012: The enacted 2012-13 budget kept funding for the 11 Caregiver Resource Centers. Thank you to everyone for signing the Change.org petition, calling, visiting, and emailing your elected representatives, and writing letters to the editor. While the funding is "safe" at present, California remains in a precarious budget situation, so we may ask for your assistance again to protect the 11 Caregiver Resource Centers.

Thank you!

Help Save Caregiver Resource Centers in California

In the Governor's proposed 2012-13 budget, the California Caregiver Resource Centers—including FCA's Bay Area Caregiver Resource Center—are slated for elimination.

June 12, 2012 UPDATE:
The budget will now be going to the Governor for final negotiations and signature and it is of vital importance that your voice be heard in the next week. Please call or write Governor Brown asking that the Caregiver Resource Centers and the services they provide to caregiving families in the state remain in the budget.
