Congress is in the midst of the FY25 budget reconciliation process, a months-long effort to review, revise, and realign federal spending to meet fiscal goals. Lawmakers have been tasked with cutting at least $1.5 trillion in mandatory spending over the next decade, with $800 billion of those cuts coming from Medicaid alone.  

On May 22, the House of Representatives passed its version of the budget reconciliation bill with a narrow 215–214 vote. The bill proposes sweeping changes to Medicaid, with projected cuts of at least $715 billion over the next decade. These cuts would lead to an estimated 13.7 million more people becoming uninsured. The vote fell largely along party lines, with minor revisions made before passage, including a change to move up the implementation date for Medicaid work requirements to “no later than December 31, 2026, or an earlier date specified by the state. 

The House version then moved to the Senate Finance Committee for markup and review, which on June 16 released its recommendations. While much of the Medicaid language mirrors the House version, there are key changes and items we continue to monitor. The Senate is aiming to pass the legislation by the end of this week.  

While these proposals don’t directly impact providers like Fello, they would significantly affect people who rely on Medicaid, many of whom are the people we support.  

Here’s what’s in the bill, what’s changed in the Senate version, and what we’re watching closely.  

What is budget reconciliation? 

Budget reconciliation is a legislative process Congress uses to align spending, revenue, and debt levels with agreed-upon budget goals. This year, lawmakers were tasked with cutting at least $1.5 trillion in mandatory spending.    

Key Changes in the Senate Version 

The Senate Finance Committee released its draft on June 16. While much of the language mirrors the House bill, there are important updates, including: 

Provider Taxes 

• House version: States would be prohibited from introducing or increasing provider taxes, effectively freezing current rates 

• Senate version: Expansion states (those that expanded Medicaid) will see provider tax rates capped and reduced to 3.5% by 2031. Non-expansion states won’t be allowed to increase rates or expand tax bases.  

• Impact: This will restrict how states fund their Medicaid programs and could force cuts to optional services like home- and community-based services (HCBS).  

State Directed Payments (SDPs) 

• States often use SDPs to increase payments to Medicaid providers. The Senate version would cap these payments to align with Medicare rates:  100% for expansion states and 110% for non-expansion states. 

• Existing SDPs will be reduced gradually by 10% each year, until the cap is met. No grandfathering allowed.  

• Impact: This could lower payments for services like HCBS, which directly support the independence and inclusion of people with disabilities. 

Additional Items We’re Monitoring 

Cuts for States Covering Undocumented Immigrants: States that use public funds to provide healthcare to undocumented immigrants will see their federal Medicaid match drop from 90% to 80%. 

Work or Volunteering Requirements: States must require Medicaid recipients who are able-bodied adults without dependents to work, volunteer, or participate in education/training for at least 80 hours per month. While exemptions exist, the administrative burden of tracking and verifying participation could cause coverage disruptions, including for direct service workers. 

Cost Sharing for Low-Income Adults: Adults earning over 100% of the federal poverty level will have to pay a portion of their medical costs. This change could impact caregivers and essential workers with modest incomes, making it harder for them to afford or maintain coverage. 

Pause on Enrollment Simplification Rules: A moratorium until 2035 on two HHS rules designed to simplify and safeguard Medicaid enrollment may result in greater coverage loss, especially for people with disabilities. 

Delay on Long-Term Care Staffing Rule: A new federal rule that would set minimum staffing levels for long-term care facilities is paused until 2035. This delays much-needed reforms that would strengthen support for direct service workers and improve resident care.  

What This Means  

The proposed changes in both the House and Senate versions of the reconciliation bill represent the most significant shift in Medicaid policy in years. If passed as is, the bill could: 

• Limit how states fund Medicaid programs 

• Reduce payments for essential services like HCBS 

• Disrupt coverage for people with disabilities and direct service workers 

• Increase costs for individuals who already struggle to access care 

What’s Next? 

The Senate Finance Committee will now collaborate with the full Senate to review the proposed markup.  

Significant debate and compromises are expected, as many senators remain divided over key tax revisions and proposed cuts to major programs like Medicare and Medicaid, services heavily relied upon by their constituents. Once the Senate casts its final vote on the budget, it will return to the House for further review and markup before heading back to the Senate. While there is no statutory deadline, lawmakers are aiming to pass the reconciliation bill by early August, ahead of the congressional recess and key fiscal deadlines.    

We will continue to monitor every step of the process and keep you informed as more details emerge. As always, our focus remains on the people and communities we serve, and ensuring everyone has access to the resources and support they need. 

From the moment we launched our new name and brand, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Community members, partners, families, and team members have shared how much they appreciate the clarity and purpose behind the change. For many, Fello already feels like more than a new name—it feels like home. 

Celebrating with the Community 

To mark the start of this new chapter, we hosted open houses at our Fello Easton and Fello Linthicum locations. These events gave us the chance to connect face-to-face with the people we serve, our neighbors, and community members. 

These open houses were a chance to meet people where they are, answer questions, and start conversations about what Fello means and where we’re going, together. We’re proud to say that people get it. They see the vision, understand what we’re building, and they want to be part of it.

Why the Change? 

Changing our name was never just about a new logo or name. This transition to Fello was about making our mission clearer, our work more connected, and our vision more focused on the future we’re building together.  

The name Fello speaks to who we are: a community where people belong. A place where services, housing, and opportunities are built around each person’s unique goals. Becoming Fello allows us to show how all the parts of our organization work together to create communities of connection, possibility, and inclusion. 

Now, one month in, we’re already seeing how the name Fello creates space for bigger conversations and bolder ideas. 

What’s Next: Fello Thinking Differently, a Podcast 

Fello Thinking Differently is one of the ways we’re connecting more deeply—with our community, our employees, and everyone curious about what makes Fello different.  

Launched in June, this podcast offers real, honest conversations—not just about what we do, but why we do it. Each episode features voices from across Fello sharing the values, experiences, and big questions that shape our work. It’s casual, candid, and deeply personal—designed to bring people closer to the mission and culture behind Fello.  

In our debut episode, Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO, reflects on the transition to Fello, the evolution of our mission, and why thinking differently is essential to the future of inclusion: 

“It’s important to think differently because people with disabilities need access and equity to services. Sixty-five years ago, kids with disabilities didn’t have access to education, housing, or other resources. While we’ve made immense change and created immense opportunities for people with disabilities, we need to think differently about how we help meet their vision of what their life looks like—not what other people think their life should look like.” 

This podcast isn’t just a new channel—it’s a deeper invitation into what drives us. It’s a reflection of where we’re going next. Listen to Episode 1 now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. 

Future release dates: Stay tuned! We’ll be announcing upcoming episodes soon. 

One Month In—and Just Getting Started 

In our first month as Fello, it’s clear the new name and mission are already making an impact. We’ve laid the groundwork for deeper engagement, stronger partnerships, and a more connected approach to housing and services. This is just the beginning—Fello is built to grow, evolve, and keep pushing forward. And we’re ready to do it together. 

At Fello, our vision is clear: to create communities where people of all abilities are included and truly belong. Our work goes beyond supporting individual people—it’s about reimagining neighborhoods, towns, and cities as the accessible, welcoming places they can and should be.

Through Fello Communities, we’re not just building homes, we’re building inclusive communities one person, one property, one neighborhood at a time.

Why We Build Communities That Welcome Everyone

We believe that housing is more than a place to live. It’s the foundation of a life filled with connection, dignity, and opportunity. That’s why Fello Communities designs, builds, and manages homes that reflect the people who live in them.

“Our work isn’t just about building structures—it’s about building communities we can all call home,” said Ross Benincasa, Senior Vice President of Community Development at Fello. “Our goal is to create communities where people from all walks of life can coexist together and feel equally safe, valued, and connected.”

Through innovative development projects, Fello Communities centers the voices of residents and local partners, laying the foundation for neighborhoods designed to support people of all backgrounds to live side by side.

Who We Build For

Our tenants are your neighbors—teachers, healthcare workers, service industry employees, and corporate ladder climbers. We build housing to serve the entire community, no matter who you are, at every stage of life.

While some of our tenants have disabilities, others do not. Our tenants reflect the communities around them and include everyone from very low-income earners to market-rate renters, local professionals to families transitioning out of homelessness, and big families to single parents moving out on their own.

No matter who you are or where you come from, when you live in a Fello Communities unit, you belong.

What We Build

Fello Communities prioritizes quality in every detail. Our homes offer modern amenities, beautiful living spaces, and easy access to schools, transit, and local resources. But more than that, they reflect our philosophy of inclusion. Every project is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to a home they’re proud to live in.

Our work prioritizes:

• Mixed-Income, Inclusive Housing: Our developments embrace a mixed-income model that brings together residents from diverse backgrounds and income levels.
• Universal Design & Accessibility: Accessibility is not an afterthought—it’s central to every design decision we make. We prioritize creating barrier-free spaces, guided by the lived experiences and needs of people with disabilities.
• Sustainable, Long-Term Impact: We build with the future in mind, focusing on resilient construction and ongoing property management that maintains quality and beauty.
• Partnership & Community: Our partnerships with local governments, funders, and communities ensure our projects have lasting positive effects on the neighborhoods they serve.

Today, Fello Communities includes over 50 properties across the region. Whether we’re renovating a single-family home or creating a new large-scale development, our approach remains the same: thoughtful, inclusive, and people-first.

How We Manage

Fello Communities doesn’t just build housing, we manage it, too. Our growing portfolio across Maryland is maintained with intention, investment, and a deep respect for the people who live there.

Our property management model includes:

• Ongoing maintenance and investment
• Regular evaluation of energy efficiency
• Supportive relationships with residents

We believe in dignity-driven property management, where responsiveness and trust are the standard—not the exception.

The Future of Inclusive Housing: What’s Next

By prioritizing inclusive design, sustainable practices, and community engagement, we’re building more than homes—we’re creating vibrant, welcoming neighborhoods where everyone belongs.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

• Easton Crossing: Construction is underway at Easton Crossing, a 6.5-acre mixed-use development on a former grain silo site in Easton, MD. The full development will include 140 residential units, where 30% are affordable housing, plus commercial space and public gathering areas.
• Silo Court: Construction will begin in Fall 2025 on this 28-townhome community. Silo Court will offer a mix of 4-bedroom units with garages and 3-bedroom units. With 25% of units designated as affordable for households earning 85% or below of the area median income (AMI), Silo Court makes housing accessible to all. 
• The Primrose House: Construction is complete for Phase One, which involved rebuilding two outbuildings to provide three new housing units. The project continues The Primrose House’s legacy as a historic house while contributing to Easton’s growth. 
• The Laura House: Construction will begin soon near downtown Easton. This 5,500-square-foot property will be converted into seven two-bedroom apartments, incorporating both affordable and market-rate housing.
• WB&A North: The expansion of an existing property in Severn, MD, is scheduled to begin construction in early 2026. This project will expand an existing duplex into a quadplex, adding two additional 2-bedroom units, one of which will be fully accessible.  
• Nursery Road: Starting in Summer 2025, Fello Communities will construct a fully accessible 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family home that will support people with disabilities served by Fello.

Looking Ahead

Our work is far from over. Across Maryland, Fello Communities is actively planning and developing new projects that expand access to inclusive housing.

“As we continue to grow and expand, our focus will remain on accessibility, sustainability, and creating communities that reflect the diverse needs of the people who call them home,” said Ross. “We’re not just developing housing—we’re developing opportunities for people to live the lives they choose.”

At Fello Communities, we don’t just build homes. We build belonging.

At Fello, we believe everyone deserves to be part of a connected, inclusive community. That’s why our services are built around real people, real lives, and real goals. 

Today, Fello supports over 4,000 people with disabilities and their families across the state, providing personalized, person-centered services that make a real difference every day.

On June 5, 2025, Fello released its first-ever podcast, Fello Thinking Differently, a new way for employees and the public to connect with the people, mission, and impact behind the organization. The podcast was inspired by a desire to create more meaningful and accessible ways to engage with Fello’s work and culture. Designed to go beyond what Fello does, Fello Thinking Differently explores the deeper why behind it all. 

Honest Conversations That Matter

Casual, candid, and personal – Fello Thinking Differently offers more than just updates. It’s a space where Fello’s leaders talk openly about what drives them, how they approach challenges, and what they’ve learned along the way.  These stories bring Fello’s mission to life, helping people connect not just with Fello’s work, but with the people behind it. 

Each episode dives into the purpose driving Fello’s programs, services, and housing development work. Leaders share the values and philosophies that shape their decisions and the vision that fuels Fello’s collective work. These behind-the-scenes conversations offer a deeper look into Fello’s culture, priorities, and long-term goals, making it a valuable resource for anyone who is curious about what sets Fello apart.  

Episode 1: Featuring Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of Fello

The first episode features Fello’s President & CEO, Jonathon Rondeau, reflecting on the organization’s transition to Fello, the importance of staying true to its mission, and the evolution of services over the past 64 years. He reflected on how the world has evolved and why Fello must continue pushing forward: 

“It’s important to think differently because people with disabilities need access and equity to services. Sixty-five years ago, kids with disabilities didn’t have access to education, housing, or other resources. While we’ve made immense changes and created immense opportunities for people with disabilities, we need to think differently about how we help meet their vision of what their life looks like, not what other people think their life should look like.”

Fello Thinking Differently gives listeners the flexibility to engage on their own time, in their own way. 

Fello Thinking Differently is currently available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts, with more episodes coming soon. Subscribe, follow, and join us as we explore what it really means to think differently.  

At Fello, our work is made possible by our people. Every service we provide, every relationship we build, every milestone we reach is powered by the dedication and talent of our employees.

Each year, Fello hosts Celebration Service, honoring employees who have been with the organization for five or more years. But the event is about more than tenure – it’s a moment to celebrate the culture we’ve built together: the meaningful connections, shared values, and deep sense of belonging that make Fello more than just a workplace.

“Recognizing employees who have dedicated significant portions of their careers to Fello is an opportunity to show appreciation for their energy and ongoing commitment to this incredible place,” said Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of Fello. “These are professionals who are dedicated years of their lives to our mission and vision, and Celebration Service is our way of intentionally saying thank you.”

Honoring Long-Term Employees and the Culture That Keeps Them Here

This year’s Celebration Service took place at Fello Severn and honored 130 team members from across the organization. In true Maryland style, people gathered for a crab feast—complete with steamed crabs and shrimp served by the Executive Leadership Team. Employees also enjoyed a BBQ buffet, games, raffles, a DJ, and an ice cream truck.

Check out more photos from Celebration Service here.

Most importantly, Celebration Service is about people. It creates a space where long-serving employees from all parts of Fello come together to share stories, reconnect, and be recognized not just for how long they’ve been here, but for everything they’ve contributed along the way.

“These long-term employees are leaders across the organization,” said Rondeau. “They understand the ‘why’ behind our work, they guide their newer coworkers, and they are a major part of our culture. Recognizing their hard work and commitment is an honor.”

The event is more than just a gathering—it’s a moment where people can relax, have fun, and feel valued for their everyday contributions.

 At Fello, people stay because this is a place where they’re seen, heard, and valued. Our team members know their work matters, and they feel supported in growing, learning, and building careers with purpose.

Why People Stay: In Their Own Words

Creating an environment where people want to stay starts with building a culture where people can succeed. At Fello, employees have access to real opportunities—whether it’s growing in their roles, exploring new areas of the organization, or gaining the skills they need to keep moving forward.

“When I started at Fello, I worked weekends. I’ve stayed all these years because I want to make a difference while I’m here on earth. I’ve met wonderful people who feel like family. If you want to serve and help people who need someone to care, this is the place—and you will be blessed.” -Janet McQuirter, 22 years at Fello

At Fello, we are intentional about building a place where people want to stay. That means building a workplace that truly supports our employees through thoughtful benefits, resources, paid learning opportunities, and time to recharge. Our total rewards approach is focused on listening to what people need and responding with meaningful ways to make their lives better—at work, at home, and in between.

A Celebration of Commitment

Celebration Service is just one of the ways we show our commitment to our people, not only in their work, but in their lives. We believe that when people feel seen and supported, they grow—and when they grow, the entire community grows with them. This year’s celebration was a powerful reminder of what makes Fello truly special: the people who bring our mission to life every day.

At Fello, we believe honoring a person’s full identity is essential to fostering true inclusion in our communities. 

June is Pride Month, and whether you’re a Fello employee or a person we support, we’re committed to creating a place where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued. 

At Fello, we encourage every team member to bring their full self to work. We know that people thrive in environments where they don’t have to hide who they are. That’s why we’ve worked hard to build a culture rooted in respect, equity, and acceptance. 

A Workplace Where Everyone Belongs 

Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are a thread woven throughout everything we do. From inclusive on-boarding practices to regular satisfaction surveys and employee trainings, we listen, learn, and improve to ensure everyone feels supported. 

To be as inclusive as possible for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual+ (LGBTQIA+) employees, we are committed to improving our policies, spaces, and offerings. 

For example, prioritizing single-stall restrooms in our office spaces allows everyone to feel safe and secure. No one needs to choose how they identify or to wonder how they will be perceived based on the restroom they are using.  

Additionally, all of our Total Rewards available to employees’ spouses are also available to employees’ domestic partners.  

Family Planning benefits around surrogacy, IVF, and paid leave for adoption are also benefits open to all employees that support LGBTQIA+ employees and their families to grow and thrive. 

Our employees are encouraged to not just share their pronouns but let us know whenever they need to be updated, no matter how frequently that might be. 

These workplace practices reflect our deeper commitment to inclusion that extends far beyond policies. 

Pride Month and Our Mission 

Pride Month is more than a celebration—it’s an extension of our mission. At Fello, we remove barriers so everyone can live fully and freely. That includes the freedom to express every part of who they are, including their gender identity and sexual orientation. 

We know that people with disabilities often face added discrimination or misunderstanding when they’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community. That’s why we approach support with the whole person in mind. 

Our work doesn’t stop with awareness—it’s about action. We offer relationship- and identity-focused trainings for employees and the people we support about making space for understanding our identities, healthy relationships, and self-expression, including sessions led by outside national experts. These trainings help educate employees who support people with disabilities on how to approach topics around self-discovery, relationships, and identity in authentic, helpful ways.  

We also empower people to use their chosen names and pronouns, advocate for their personal preferences, and feel safe being open in their homes and communities. 

As one Direct Support Professional (DSP) shares: 
“The relationship training gave me real tools—like how to support someone through tough conversations, recognize unhealthy dynamics, and respect boundaries. It’s helped me be a better DSP, but it’s also made me more thoughtful in my own relationships, too.” 

Year-Round Support 

Fello’s commitment to inclusion doesn’t stop after June. We offer: 

• Comprehensive Total Rewards that support mental health and well-being for employees; 

• Access to Behavioral Health services for people supported by Fello;  

• A DEI Advisory Committee for employees to engage as thought partners; 

• Opportunities for regular feedback about Fello’s practices and opportunities for growth. 

This Pride Month, we celebrate the courage it takes to live authentically—and we’re proud to walk alongside our community every step of the way. 

Looking for more than a job? At Fello, you’ll find purpose, connection, and a community that cares about the people we support and about you.
