WebDescription
Using data from the Residential Information Systems Project (RISP) is a powerful way to tell the story of residential services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It transforms complex statistics into a compelling narrative, influencing policy, funding commitments, and public education. RISP moves beyond simply stating numbers and instead uses them to illustrate the human impact of services and the value of continued funding for residential and community supports. Using RISP data in the media is a critical advocacy strategy that highlights the impact, reaches a wider audience, and builds a strong case for funding.
