2019 Assessment of the Disability Service System in Virginia
Description:
The Virginians with Disabilities Act § 51.5-33 directs the Virginia Board for People with Disabilities (VBPD), beginning July 1, 2017, to submit an annual report to the Governor, through the Secretary of Health and Human Resources, that provides an in-depth assessment of at least two major service areas for people with disabilities in the Commonwealth. In June 2017, the Board determined that the 2018 focus would be on the housing and transportation of individuals with disabilities as related to programs and services operated, licensed, administered, or funded by the Commonwealth. The 2019 Assessments will cover the areas of Community Supports, Early Intervention, and Institutional Supports.
