Grassroots Advocacy Task Force
HCO’s Grassroots Advocacy Task Force is made up of a dedicated group of self-advocates, family, supporters, and staff. We are committed to advocating for disability services within the state legislature, and work as a coalition with other advocates across Minnesota.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit Home and Community Options facilitates nonpartisan engagement.
