Description
|
Maintains current staff and operations in the community independent living services program. This program assists people with visual disabilities in achieving their maximum level of independence in their home and community. Without additional general fund support, it is estimated that two of the agency’s 32 independent living teachers would have to be eliminated at some point in the next biennium to cover increasing fixed costs. This amendment ensures that funding is available to cover the existing personal services costs; in addition, $50,000 is provided for the provision of supportive equipment. |
