RCPA Sends Follow-up Letter to the Governor and General Assembly Regarding the Budget Impasse

RCPA, on behalf of our members and the organizations we represent, has sent a Second Appeal letter to Governor Shapiro and members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

This communication reinforces the urgent need to end the 2025/2026 state budget impasse and protect Pennsylvania’s health and human services system.



Since our initial appeal, the situation has grown increasingly dire, with providers struggling to sustain essential programs and staffing amid halted payments and prolonged uncertainty.

Our letter highlights the human and operational impacts of this crisis and calls on state leaders to act with urgency and unity to pass a full and responsible budget that restores funding stability and safeguards the services on which so many Pennsylvanians rely.

We encourage you to share this message within your communities and with your local legislators to help amplify the call for action. Together, our collective voice remains our strongest tool for change.

Thank you for your continued commitment and advocacy for the individuals you serve.
