Community Rehabilitation Provider Rebalancing Initiative
Due to their commitment and experience in serving people with disabilities, community rehabilitation providers (CRPs) can play a role in expanding integrated employment options for people with disabilities. As a way to expand integrated employment provider capacity in the long term care system, the Division is interested in increasing the number and percentage of individuals with disabilities who are supported by community rehabilitation providers (CRPs) in integrated employment options including competitive, customized, supported, and self employment (including micro-enterprise) and in expanding the capacity and expertise of CRPs to provide individualized, community-based employment supports to individuals with disabilities who are hired by community employers. The purpose of this document is to provide CRPs with information to enable them to prepare and submit a proposal that will result in an increase in the number and percent of individuals with disabilities the CRP supports in integrated employment. The Division intends to use the results of this process to award up to 10 grants to CRPs that support this goal.
