About the Cofar blog and COFAR
This blogsite is intended to highlight, analyze and discuss current issues of concern to COFAR families, and to involve the general public, administration officials, legislators, and journalists in those discussions. We welcome your comments.
COFAR is the acronym for the Massachusetts Coalition of Families and Advocates, Inc., a statewide, family-supported nonprofit organzation that advocates on behalf of persons with intellectual disabilities.
COFAR supports a full continuum of choice in high-quality care for persons with intellectual disabilites. Through the efforts of our family members and volunteers, we advocate for adequate funding and staffing for residential and other programs provided by the Department of Developmental Services. We provide advocacy information and advice to families and guardians wherever their loved ones may live.
