Coalition for a DSP Living Wage, Neighbor

The Coalition is comprised of families, community provider agencies, advocacy organizations, Direct Support Professionals and, most importantly, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). These members share a common belief that individuals with I/DD deserve to live rich and meaningful lives as fully integrated members of our communities. Toward that end, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), who play a critical role in meeting this objective, must be paid a competitive living wage that's at least 25% above New Jersey's minimum wage and reflects the skill, responsibility and training required for the complex work. #PayFair4DirectCare
