Hubbard County DAC Expresses Concerns Over Proposed Changes to 14(c) Program

The Developmental Achievement Center in Hubbard County is a organization that allows adults with disabilities the choice and option to work in the facility for a fair compensation. The agency operates under a program known as 14-C, which allows adults with disabilities the option to work in the facility instead of working in the community.

If the 14(c) program is eliminated under a proposed bill, people with disabilities may not have the option to work elsewhere due to their ability to perform certain work duties.
