Kentucky Falling Behind on I/DD Waiver Waitlists

A recent Open Minds analysis shows that Kentucky is among the worst in the nation for waiting lists for Intellectual & Developmental Disability (I/DD) waiver services.

Despite recent capacity expansion efforts by the Legislature, nearly 13,000 Kentuckians remain on waiver waitlists.

The wait is more than just an inconvenience, it prevents people from getting critical therapies, supports, and housing that they need to live their lives with dignity. This wait has a real human cost: delayed development, increased caregiver burnout, and risk of crisis.

We deserve an I/DD system in Kentucky that meets the needs of all our residents, not one where thousands are left waiting.
