Returning to Day-Hab Survey – part II

We appreciate you taking the time to fill out our recent survey about issues returning to day hab.

DLC and other advocates have made some modest progress in our efforts to change state policies concerning bringing back prior day hab participants and enrolling new participants in day hab services. This includes an increase in day hab rates which should increase wages paid to day hab workers. However, we remain unsatisfied with the current situation.

As we work on this issue systemically, we wanted to check back in with you to see if your situation has improved through this additional survey:
