A
Okay,
we
are
now
recording
and
I
I
believe
that
I'm
gonna
have
to
share
a
screen.
If
you
want
some
slides,
Carol,
I
I'm.
B
C
C
You
know
Carrie
I
I
sent
those
slides
out
to
the
people
that
I,
whose
names
I
had
for
the
DD
committee
yesterday,
so
they
may
have
them.
I
I
think
I
can
just
discuss
the
data.
I,
don't
think
it's
worth
going
through
a
lot
of
trouble
to
show
the
charts
we
can
put
them
in
the
minutes
or
something:
okay.
Okay,
all
right.
It's
good
to
see
everybody
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
C
C
C
The
short-term
need
is
being
addressed
by
the
new
employment
training
program,
which
I'm
guessing
is
going
to
come
online
pretty
soon
as
of
a
year
ago,
the
long-term
need
was
supposed
to
be
part
of
the
County's
Capital
Improvement
program
process
was
also
known
as
the
CIP
and
the
CIP
is
renewed
every
two
years.
In
other
words,
it's
on
a
different
cycle
than
the
regular
annual
County
budget.
This
year
is
the
off
year,
so
my
expectation
is,
or
was
that
next
year's
CIP
will
include
a
proposal
to
address
the
long-term
capacity
need
components.
C
C
This
opportunity,
before
it's
likely
to
require
an
significant
investment
on
the
part
of
the
county
and
to
my
knowledge,
there
hasn't
been
any
discussion
of
it
in
the
committee
for
at
least
a
year,
so
I'm
speaking,
because
I
want
to
just
get
a
few
questions
on
the
table
for
you
all
to
consider
for
the
future,
and
the
first
question
is
whether
the
new
facility
will
provide
only
day
or
Rehabilitation
programs,
or
will
it
support
a
hybrid
of
dead
employment
options,
which
was
what,
which
is
the
recommendation
of
the
Public's
Consulting
Group
I.
C
C
The
third
question
I'm
going
to
talk
about
this
more
in
a
minute,
but
is
what
methods
is
the
county
using
to
project
a
Target
capacity
that
is
going
to
meet
future
needs?
I,
think
that's
a
that's
a
pretty
tricky
process,
and
again
it's
just
something
that
you
know
we
haven't
talked
about
or
you
haven't
talked
about,
and
the
fourth
is
what
factors
are
being
considered
in
identifying
a
location
for
the
new
programs.
You
know:
is
it
going
to
be
near
transportation?
C
So
I
also
want
to
express-
and
this
is
what's
in
the
charts-
if
you
had
a
chance
to
look
at
them
a
concern
which
is
that
Day
program
enrollment
has
not
come
back
from
pre-pandemic
levels.
Even
yet,
even
though
all
the
programs
are
reopened
and
I'm
in
in
talking
about
this
I'm,
referring
to
data
that
was
published
with
the
county
budget
in
February,
so
just
to
give
you
an
idea.
C
If
you
go
back
five
years,
we
have
to
go
back
okay,
there
you
go.
If
we
go
back
to
FY
2019,
which
is
five
years
ago,
which
is
how
far
you
have
to
go,
get
to
get
a
pre-pandemic
Baseline,
there
were
222
active
adult
clients
and
160
of
them
were
in
day
or
habilitation
programs.
C
Another
way
to
look
at
this
is
percentages,
I
kind
of
see
this
flashing
up
on
the
screen,
but
it's
I'll
just
tell
you
what
these
numbers
are:
pre-pandemic,
72
percent
of
adult
clients
receive
Day
program
services
in
fiscal
year
2019,
but
the
projection
for
fiscal
year
2024
at
least
the
one
in
the
budget
document,
is
that
only
49
of
adult
clients
will
be
receiving
Day
program
services
and
FY
2024..
So
this
really
is
the
question
that
I
have.
C
If
you
were,
if
you're
going
to
bring
fy24
up
to
those
FY
19
percentages,
you
would
need
another
63
additional
Day
program
spaces
and
that's
just
to
serve
the
increased
growth
the
past
five
years.
Your
the
new
capacity
is
also
supposed
to
be
building
in
future
growth,
and
it's
supposed
to
be
providing
some
options
for
clients
who
are
currently
not
served
in
Arlington
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
this
data
and
I
don't
claim
to
understand
what
all
of
the
factors
are.
C
It
very
well
may
be
that
some
of
the
decline
in
the
day
program
enrollment,
is
being
offset
by
increased
employment,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
that
would
explain
all
of
it
so
I'm
feeling
that
more
data
and
Analysis
of
the
of
the
trends
in
adult
client
engagement.
If
we
think
about
engagement
as
being
Day
program,
employment,
training
and
you
know,
actual
employment
I
think
that's
something.
C
That's
pretty
critical
to
determining
an
appropriate
level
of
the
planned
future
capacity,
and
one
thing
I
think
you
should
be
especially
cautious
about
in
looking
at
this-
is
that
if
you
are
projecting
this
long-term
need,
I,
don't
think
I
think
what
this
data
is
telling
us
is
that
you
cannot
make
an
assumption
that
the
current
capacity
is
adequate
and
that
all
that's
needed
is
some
small
incremental
amounts
for
future
growth.
C
So
this
is
really
what
I
came
to
say:
I'm,
not
expecting
a
long
conversation
about
this
now
Sherry
and
I
had
talked
about
this
in
advance.
I
know
your
agenda
is
full.
C
A
Thank
you,
Carol
and,
as
incoming
chair
I've,
appreciated
your
help
in
understanding
numbers
today
we're
going
to
discuss
some
of
the
historic
programmatic
indicators
that
we've
had
both
both
with
the
county,
funded
and
waiver-funded
clients,
and
there
may
be
some
information
in
response
to
your
questions
during
that
discussion,
and
then
the
other
great
thing
is
that
she's,
not
surprising
people,
so
Carol
has
shared
this
information
with
LA
boys
and
the
voice
indicated
that
whatever
questions
aren't
addressed
during
the
presentation,
she
can
add
to
the
minutes
at
a
later
date,
especially
to
the
minutes
of
sales,
especially
since
we're
now
meeting
every
other
month,
instead
of
monthly
There's
an
opportunity
for
clarifying
questions
of
Carol,
but
not
for
further
comment
or
discussion.
A
So
are
there
any
clarifying
questions
that
anyone
has
for
Carol?
Okay,
thank
you
Carol.
Next,
we
have
another
request
for
discussion
around
the
state
rental
assistance
program.
A
So
Donna
you
said
that
you
were
going
to
have
some
folks
speaking
on
srap
today.
D
To
make
sure
right
before
I
handed
them,
the
camera
and
the
mic
I
want
to
make
sure
that
was
the
entree
for
one
of
our
self-advocates.
We
just
have
a
quick
comment.
One
of
our
self-advocates
he'll
introduce
himself
and
explain
the
situation,
but
I
think
a
pretty
compelling
story
for
why
we
need
to
have
more
opportunities.
You
know
like
this
to
our
young
adults
in
Arlington,
so
no
further
Ado
I'm,
sorry.
This
is
a
little
unusual,
but
Paul's
been
going
to
stay
here
for
the
whole
meeting
so
Paul.
D
E
My
name
is
Paul
Osgood
and
I'm.
42
years
old
just
had
a
birthday
a
few
recently,
which
is
awesome,
happy
birthday,
and
what
brought
me
here
is
the
fact
that
I
was
living
in
Falls
Church
originally
and
it
wasn't
as
inclusive
I
was
stuck
in
my
building
all
the
time.
I
didn't
have
nothing
to
do
and
since
and
my
parents
found
out
about
missed
on
and
stomping
grounds
and
stuff
and
would
say
they
found
out
about
it
and
I
found
out
about
it
and
Gillian
place.
E
Also
I
was
I
said
I
mean
why
not
so
I
I
moved
down
here
and
ever
since
then
it's
changed
my
life
because
I
have
met
made
me,
wait
more
friends
and
I
probably
had
like
in
a
lifetime
and
also
done
like
a
lot
of
really
cool
things
like
the
dinner
clubs
and
movie
nights,
and
things
like
that.
So
it's
really
changed
me
as
a
person.
D
E
Approximately
there
and
they're
like
70s
80s,
okay.
D
D
A
Thank
you.
We
always
appreciate
hearing
from
folks
who
are
receiving
Services
and
we
really
appreciate
that.
Are
there
any
clarifications
of
Paul
we're
gonna
I'm
bringing
up
thank
you
later
on
in
the
day,
but
are
there
any
clarifying
questions
of
Paul.
A
Great
is
there
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
provide
public
comment.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
Carol
and
Paul
and
I'm.
So
at
that
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
item
of
businesses,
which
is
approval
of
the
minutes,
have
folks
had
a
chance
to
look
at
the
minutes
that
were
sent
in
the
in
the
mailing
list
that
I
send
things
to
and
also
sent
by
Robert
Petros
last
week.
A
Thank
you,
Lynn.
Is
there
a
second
yeah
I'll
see,
thank
you
so
any
other
conversation.
Then
the
minutes
are
accepted.
Thank
you
very
much.
Next,
on
the
agenda.
Genie,
are
you
I
mean
sorry
too
many
people
Lisa?
Are
you
ready
to
present
the
legislative
update.
F
A
G
A
F
F
Okay,
then,
the
general
assembly
did
not
finish
their
budget
as
expected,
and
now
we've
been
told
pretty
clearly
that
it's
going
to
be
late
June
before
that
happens,
that's
a
pretty
big
deal
for
a
number
of
reasons.
F
The
budget
goes
into
effect,
July,
1,
so
all
of
the
language
things
we
had
in
the
budget,
for
example,
combining
the
caps
on
assistive
technology
and
electronic
Home
Based
Services,
looking
at
core
Services
as
an
alternative
to
the
waiver
waiting
list,
trying
to
remove
some
barriers
to
work
and
having
that
cost
you,
your
waiver,
Services,
all
those
kinds
of
things
are
on
hold
and
probably
won't
have
time
to
be
implemented
in
terms
of
regulations
because
I've
had
delayed
the
budget
is
in
addition
to
the
actual
spending
parts
of
the
budget,
and
the
state
has
now
said
they
are
waiting
to
hear
news
on
the
federal
budget
before
they
finalize
their
negotiations
and
that's
being
held
up
by
conversations
around
the
debt
ceiling.
F
F
F
If
you
will,
there
are
some
other
big
things
going
on
in
the
waiver
world,
one
of
which
is
Virginia
has
to
renew
our
waivers,
even
if
they
don't
change
anything
every
five
years
they
have
to
put
in
an
application
to
renew
them
as
they
are
and
when
they
put
in
that
application,
they
continue
to
allow
parents
to
be
paid
caregivers
to
minor
children,
which
was
a
flexibility
allowed
during
the
pandemic,
which
was
great
so
that
would
be
to
kids
under
18,
but
they
said
for
parents
to
do
that.
F
The
parent
would
have
to
be
employed
by
a
home
health
agency
as
opposed
to
using
the
Consumer
Directed
model
yeah.
That
is
the
right
reaction,
which
is
what
is
very
widely
used.
In
fact,
I'm
going
to
see
if
I
can
put
it
in
a
chat.
There
was
an
absolutely
wonderful
article
that
Virginia
Mercury
put
out
about
this
today,
so
they
put
that
in
the
application.
We
are
fighting
that
tooth
and
nail.
We
are
going
to
keep
fighting
it,
but
if
nothing
were
to
change
that
would
go
into
effect
in
November
of
this
year.
F
So,
no
matter
what
happens
between
now
and
November
you'll
be
hearing
from
us
as
we
fight
on
this
and
as
if
we
need
to
give
families
information
on
how
to
navigate
these
Waters.
So
it's
very
frustrating
and
we
are
with
you
100
so
again
with
that
said,
any
remaining
Public
Health
Emergency
flexibilities
end
in
November,
unless
they're
being
continued
outside
of
the
public
health
emergency,
for
example,
the
state's
chosen
to
continue
them
and
put
in
a
separate
application
to
do
that.
F
The
last
thing
I'll
add
on
the
Medicaid
front
is
that
Medicaid
hasn't
really
been
doing
renewals
as
scheduled
during
the
public
health
emergency.
The
idea
was,
they
didn't
want
to
risk
kicking
someone
off
Medicaid
during
a
time
of
a
pandemic,
which
makes
sense
now
all
of
those
Medicaid
renewal
applications
which
apply
to
anybody
who
has
just
Medicaid
Health
insurance
and
anybody
with
waiver
are
happening.
So
my
biggest
concern
is
making
sure
that
folks
are
in
touch
with
their
waiver
eligibility
person
to
make
sure
they've
got
the
right
contact
information.
F
Did
someone
move
during
the
pandemic
right?
We
just
need
to
be
really
responsive
to
those
requests
for
paperwork
without
risking
someone's,
Medicaid
being
lost
so
just
kind
of
spread.
The
word
make
sure
make
sure
you
should
be
hearing
from
your
Medicaid
Eligibility
worker.
There's
likely
not
a
reason
to
be
concerned
about
someone's
actual
eligibility
being
maintained,
but
if
they
don't
get
that
reach
out
from
the
eligibility
worker
and
respond
to
it
in
a
timely
fashion,
then
they
will
lose
Medicaid
coverage
and
that's
the
big
deal.
F
The
last
big
broad
news,
I'll
share
is
that
until
January
of
next
year
there
is
a
one-time
ever
adjustment
so
that
military
retirees
can
go
back
in
and
adjust
their
Survivor
benefit
plans.
So
that
means
the
people
who
get
money
when
that
military
member
or
passes
away,
and
that's
a
big
deal
because,
prior
to
the
creation
of
able
accounts,
parents
often
opted
out
of
those
retiree
benefit
plans,
fearing
that
it
would
cost
their
child
Medicaid
and
waiver
eligibility
and
then
once
they
retired,
they
couldn't
go
back
in
to
adjust
it.
F
So
this
is
a
one-time
ever
chance.
If
someone
retired
from
the
military
and
opted
out
of
those
benefits
for
their
child,
trying
to
protect
eligibility
for
other
programs,
they
can
go
back
and
and
adjust
it
and
I
know.
This
is
an
area
where
we
have
so
many
military
and
ex-military
members
and
I
would
love
for
folks
to
know
about
that.
I
would
hate
for
them
to
miss
this
window.
F
The
final
thing
I'll
add
is
just
about.
What's
going
on
with
the
Arc
of
Northern
Virginia,
we
have
a
four-part
webinar
series
coming
up
from
Gary
Shulman,
who
was
a
lifelong
kind
of
disability,
speaker
and
educator
in
New
York,
and
he's
doing
a
series
on
how
to
be
a
parent
advocate
how
to
deal
with
hurtful
words
and
things
that
you
say.
His
workshops
are
virtual
because
folks
didn't
seem
to
want
to
come
in
person,
but
really
well
liked
lots
of
comments.
F
Kind
of
he
manages
interaction
really
well
on
Zoom,
a
lot
of
kind
of
a
support
group
plus
resource
sharing,
plus
empowerment,
and
so
those
are
on
our
website.
We've
got
a
webinar
coming
up
on
workplace
Readiness
skills.
Speaking
to
what
Carol
was
just
talking
about.
It's
a
timely
topic.
We
are
now
starting
to
host
monthly
free
sessions
where,
for
45
minutes
a
parent
can
come
in
and
chat
with
a
special
education
attorney
to
get
ideas
and
advice.
F
We
have
a
brand
new
webinar
coming
up
called
a
hundred
ways
to
use
supported
decision
making,
where
we
will
literally
go
through
a
hundred
different
iterations
of
how
you
can
make
this
work
and
all
kinds
of
ongoing
resources
about
tech
for
independent
living
and
travel
training.
So
that's
all
that
I
had
for
today.
Thank
you
so
much
Sherry
say.
A
Will
you
send
those
notes
to
me
with
links
so
folks
can
register
or
find
out
more
about
the
military
benefits,
as
well
as
more
about
the
proposed
the
Medicaid
waiver
application
to
the
state
and
whether
or
not
there's
any
work
that
we
can
do
to
make
sure
that
parents,
family
caregivers,
can
can
continue
to
care
for
their
kids
without
having
to
go
through
a
Home,
Care
Agency?
That's
wild.
A
Right:
okay,
thank
you
very
much
always
for
for
for
the
updates.
We
depend.
H
A
Them
next
on
the
agenda
is
the
developmental
Services
annual
program
review,
Jennifer
you're,
presenting
and
Lauren?
Are
you
you're
presenting
on
something.
I
I
can
Tom?
Are
you
ever
able
to
share
the
PowerPoint
that
I

I
sent
to
you.
B
G
J
H
K
H
H
D
I
Perfect:
okay,
thank
you
so
and
I
and
thank
you
Jennifer
and
Lauren,
who
are
also
presenting
today
and
worthy
intended.
I
I
was
primarily
going
to
present
and
due
to
my
being
out
of
town,
I
asked
Jennifer
and
Lauren
to
step
in,
but
I'm
just
got
back
in
town
today,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
present
and
with
their
assistance
on
several
of
the
slides
and
they're.
Both
there
in
person.
J
L
I
See
it
now
yep,
okay,
excellent!
Here
we
go
so
we
actually
haven't
done
this
in
some
time,
so
it
was
so
we're
actually
excited
to
be
able
to
tell
you
what
we've
been
doing
and
23
today.
I
Okay,
now
can
you
hear
me
yes,
okay,
I,
apparently
I
did
accidentally
mute
myself
again,
okay,
so
developmental
Services,
as
of
January
1st,
is
part
of
the
now
clinical
and
developmental
Services
Bureau,
which
houses
both
the
developmental
services
and
the
senior
adult
mental
health
program,
and
that's
effective,
January
1st
highlighting
here
that
our
overall
fiscal
program
budget
is
nine
million.
Four
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
and
a
breakdown
of
that
can
be
found
in
the
larger
Excel
spreadsheet.
I
That
Sherry
previously
shared
with
the
minutes
and
I,
can
also
include
that
when
we
send
out
the
the
annual
budget
for
the
program.
I
I
S
within
developmental
services
that
we
are
going
to
discuss
today
include
an
overview
of
support
coordination,
employment,
habilitation,
Residential,
Services
transportation,
self-directed
services,
family
support
and
Behavioral
Health
specific
to
developmental
services
and,
for
some
reason,
I
see
whenever
I'm
advancing
the
slides
it
automatically.
Muting
me
so
I'll,
just
I'll,
try
to
remember
to
unmute
myself
each
time.
I
I
do
want
to
start
the
presentation,
as
we'd
like
to
do
in
developmental
services,
with
putting
what
we
do
in
the
context
of
our
larger
DHS,
Mission,
Vision
and
values,
and
so
just
to
recap,
the
DHS
vision
of
a
just,
an
equitable
community
that
is
healthy,
safe
and
economically
secure
and
free
of
systemic
racism.
I
We
really
and
truly
are
driven
by
the
overall
DHS
Mission
Vision
and
values,
and
particularly,
we
aim
to
embed
the
values
and
everything
from
how
we
plan
for
services
staff
and
just
really
everything
that
we
do
in
in
services
and
being
inclusive
of
the
people
that
we
serve
and
making
sure
that
they
are
at
the
table,
represented
and
and
actually
participating,
and
that
their
voices
are
also
heard.
I
G
So
I'm
hoping
the
slides
Advance
with
me
here
a
little
bit:
okay
good.
So
the
support
grenation
mission
is
to
maximize
chosen
outcomes
for
individuals
with
developmental
disabilities
through
support
coordination
and
implementation
of
services
in
the
least
restricted
and
most
integrated
Community
settings.
G
G
So
support
coordination
Services
we
specifically
serve
individuals
ages,
three
years
and
older,
with
a
documented
developmental
disability
diagnosis.
This
includes
ID
intellectual
disability
per
the
code
of
Virginia.
G
Thank
you
got
it
so
support
grenation
the
FTE,
just
in
case
everybody.
So
everybody
is
aware
it
stands
for
full-time
employees,
so
we
have
a
total
of
18.5
full-time
employees.
What
that
is
actually
a
16.5
support.
Coordinators
of
those
support
coordinators.
We
have
three
subordinators
dedicated
to
youth
ages,
3
to
22..
G
A
I
M
G
Slide
Lauren
yep
developmental
Services
is
Now
supported
by
the
senior
adult
mental
health
public
health
nurse,
who
has
been
actually
a
blessing
for
us
very
instrumental
in
staff,
training
and
I'm
going
to
get
into
that.
When
we
talk
about
program
highlights
just
some
of
the
specific
trainings
he's
been
able
to
do
for
us
this
fiscal
year,
providing
consultations
to
support
coordinators
and
being
able
to
assist
with
Hospital
discharge
planning
very
helpful,
active
support
coordination.
I
I'll
talk
briefly
about
this
Slide,
the
musical
after
that,
so
I
wanted
to
just
in
introducing
active
support
coordination
because
we
get
into
some
of
the
data
about
active
support
coordination.
We
wanted
to
just
remind
you
all
what
active
support
coordination
is,
what
monitored
case
management
is
and
the
difference
between
the
two
as
well,
and
so
again,
we've
talked
about
this.
This
a
lot
but
again
just
to
recap:
this
is
the
core
service
that
is
provided
to
individuals
with
a
developmental
disability
and
also
receiving
Services
Under.
I
The
DD
Medicaid
waiver
also
referred
to
as
targeted
case
management
in
Arlington
County.
We
also
provide
active
support
coordination
for
individuals
receiving
local
funded
services
and,
again
we'll
go
into
a
lot
more
detail
about
this
later
as
well.
We
considered
classified
into
that
local
funded
Services,
Behavioral
Health,
also
our
self-directed
services
and
permanent
Supportive
Services,
basically,
anything
that
we're
providing
that
is
not
tied
to
the
waiver
that
is
in
some
way
tied
to
local
funded
dollars.
G
So,
just
a
little
bit
more
detail
about
active
support,
gradation.
All
individuals
who
are
receiving
active
support
grenation
are
supported
by
an
annual
person-centered
plan.
This
is
also
referred
to
as
an
individual
support
plan.
They're
used
interchangeably
throughout
the
year.
Enhanced
case
management
is
a
subset
of
active
support
for
nation.
This
is
for
individuals
who
are
determined
to
benefit
from
more
intensive
supports
individuals.
Receiving
active
support.
Grenation
are
required
to
be
visited
by
the
subordinator
no
less
than
once.
G
G
Individuals,
sorry
going
into
monitored
case
management
individuals
open
to
developmental
services
that
meet
the
criteria
for
DD
Medicaid
waiver
wait
list
but
are
not
receiving
a
local
funded
service
are
categorized
as
monitored.
The
support
grenator's
role
is
to
monitor
changes
in
an
individual's
physical,
mental
and
or
Behavioral
Health.
That
may
impact
the
priority
on
the
wait
list
and
in
Arlington
each
individual
on
the
waiver.
Wait
list
is
assigned
a
support
coordinator.
I
I
So
getting
into
some
of
the
data
I
did
pull
some
data
just
for
sake
of
comparison
for
FY
22.
As
we
look
at
the
data
for
FY
2023
and
ending
in
FY
22,
we
had
277
individuals
that
were
receiving
active
support
coordination.
I
I
I
So
as
of
March
30
31st,
we
were
serving
288
individuals
in
active
support
coordination,
so
a
slight
increase
over
last
year.
We
have,
however,
seen
a
pretty
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
individuals
that
are
open
for
monitored
service,
and
these
are
primarily
younger
school
age,
but
some
adults
as
well
just
not
needing
Services
right
away,
but
that
is
a
a
pretty
steep
increase
and
and
those
for
waiver
a
total
of
202.
I
As
some
of
you
may
know,
the
general
assembly
or
may
recall,
the
general
assembly
did
not
approve
new
waivers
for
the
FY
23
fiscal
year.
So
you
may
wonder
why
do
we
have
one
more
waiver
than
we
did
over
last
year?
And
that's
because
of
the
building
Independence
waiver,
which
is
not
it's.
It's
allocated
a
little
bit
differently
than
the
family
individual
supports
and
the
building.
Independence.
I
Excuse
me,
the
family,
individual
support
in
the
community
living
waiver,
and
so
almost
at
any
time,
an
individual
that
is
seeking
to
live
in
an
independent
setting.
Independent
Living
can
apply
for
a
building
Independence
waiver,
which
is
actually
far
easier
to
get
than
the
FIS
and
the
CL
waiver,
and
so
we
added
one
individual
recently
for
a
building
Independence
waiver
here
in
Arlington
County,
and
so
that's
why
that
number
is
up.
I
We
did,
however,
ever
have
several
waivers
that
turned
over
it
didn't
change
the
Baseline
of
number
of
waivers,
but
when
someone
passed
away
we
were
able
to
reassign
that
waiver
within
our
CSV,
and
so
there
were
some
individuals
new
to
waiver
in
the
fiscal
year
when
that
happened,
and
we
had
a
total
of
86
individuals
whose
Services
were
local,
funded.
I
And
I
didn't
say
at
the
beginning,
but
we'll
have
ample
time.
I
do
believe
at
the
end,
for
questions
so
feel.
Free
to
you
know,
write
your
questions
down,
put
them
in
the
chat
and
we'll
aim
to
get
through
as
many
questions
as
we
can
today.
So
I
also
did
a
breakdown
for
the
individuals
that
are
receiving
local
funding,
and
this
is
obvious.
I
This
is
a
some
people
are
duplicated
in
some
of
these
categories,
so,
for
example,
someone
could
be
in
residential
services
and
also
receiving
mental
health
therapy,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
idea
of
the
breakdown
of
those
individuals
that
are
classified
as
receiving
local
funded
services,
and
so
30
of
them
are
for
BHD.
I
Excuse
me
not
BHD,
Behavioral,
Health,
receiving
developmental
disability,
mental
health
therapy,
I'm
64
for
medication
management,
with
the
psychiatrists
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
Later
on
in
the
presentation,
we
have
23
individuals
that
are
receiving
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
and
so
one
of
the
requirements
here
in
Arlington
is
individuals
that
are
open
to
permanent
Supportive
Housing,
receive
active
support
coordination
and
the
same
for
those
that
are
open
for
Behavioral
Health.
I
That's
the
only
service
that
someone
is
receiving
the
therapy
or
medication
management,
they're
required
to
be
open
to
behavioral
health.
Excuse
me
to
support
coordination,
and
then
we
have
15
individuals
for
residential
services
that
are
local
funded
and
we
have
a
combined
total
of
30
individuals
for
employment
and
day
support
that
are
local
funded.
I
G
G
I
G
Our
person-centered
plan
was
updated.
May
2nd
forward
to
include
changes
to
the
part
two,
which
is
the
under
essential
information.
There
was
changes
under
supportive
decision
making
under
legal
representation,
also
also
changes
under
the
health
section
regarding
medication,
side
effects
being
clearer
on
where
to
find
those
for
individuals
and
also
Health
screenings
that
are
completed
annually.
That
might
not
have
been
documented
previously,
including,
like
you
know,
hearing
eye
tests,
annual
Pap
exam
path,
exams,
I,
believe
they're
called
mammograms
and
colorectal
cancer
screenings.
G
We
also
completed
health
related
trainings,
the
support
pronation
team
from
ddhds
Office
of
Education
rated
Health.
We
had
somebody
comment
and
discuss
mobile
Rehabilitation
and
the
my
passport
option.
These
are
services
and
supports
that
individuals
can
access
if
somebody
has
a
wheelchair-
and
there
is
something
that
is
broken
or
needs
to
be
supported.
There
is
an
ability
to
to
contact
adhds
for
their
mobile
rehab
to
be
able
to
come
to
the
individual's
home
come
to
their
day
program
or
whoever
is
easiest
for
them
to
receive
that
support.
G
G
We
also
had
the
DD
Awareness
Month
art
show
I
believe
that
was
quite
a
big
success.
We
had
a
lot
of
different
opportunities
at
individuals,
I
think
actually
most
of
the
individuals
that
actually
submitted
their
artwork
did
attend.
The
the
art
show
as
well,
and
it
was
just
a
really
beautiful
presentation.
G
We
hosted
the
LEAP
program,
which
is
leadership
for
empowerment
and
Abuse
Prevention.
They
came
to
Arlington
County
in
August
to
provide
training
to
up
to
12
individuals.
G
Leap
is
sponsored
by
the
VCU
partnership
for
people
with
disabilities,
and
we
also
continued
to
do
our
social
skills
group
that
is
facilitated
by
a
support,
grenator
Bertha
blomo
and
myself
and
I'm
hoping
that
come
June
July.
When
we
start
this
up
again,
it'll
be
in
person
with
a
hybrid
option.
In
case
somebody
would
like
to
participate
still
online,
so
we're
definitely
looking
forward
to
a
return
for
in-person
services.
With
that.
G
I
think
yeah.
This
is
about
the
fifth
or
sixth
year
actually,
and
we
have
run
it
up
at
least
about
one
and
a
half
times
per
year.
So
it
takes
about
three
and
a
half
to
four
months
to
complete
the
program
and
we've
had
some
return
participants
which
is
fantastic.
We
use
them
as
coaches
and
supporting
newer
participants
and
we've
had
in
the
last
two
years,
just
a
surprising
number
of
new
individuals
being
referred,
which
is
fantastic.
G
We've
seen
some
good
data
from
that.
You
know
individuals
being
able
to
use
the
skills
they've
learned
in
their
everyday
life,
so
very
excited
about
that.
I
Okay,
we're
gonna
shift
into
habilitation
and
supporting
employment
and
I'm.
Actually,
looking
at
my
clock
five
minutes
to
five,
we
still
have
six
programs
to
get
through,
but
the
support
coordination
was
by
far
our
largest
to
report
out
on.
So
this
consists
of
our
day,
support
and
supported
employment
with
supported
employment
again
being
broken
down
into
individual
supported
employment
and
group
supported
employment
as
a
quick,
just
reminder
day:
Support
Services.
I
These
are
structured
programs
of
various
activities
and
trainings
for
individuals
that
we
support,
emphasizing
here
that
they
are
non-residential
community-based
settings
where
they
occur,
and
you
may
recall,
during
parts
of
the
pandemic,
there
was
a
great
amount
of
advocacy
to
try
to
get
day,
Support
Services
to
be
provided
in
residential
settings
and
eventually
the
department,
HDs
and
dmas
did
a
other
states
were
about
three
to
four
months.
During
the
pandemic,
we
actually
provided
local
funding
for
some
of
our
day.
Support.
I
Excuse
me,
our
Residential
Services
providers,
if
you
may
recall,
to
provide
day
Support
Services
in
residential
settings,
and
so
we
were
able
to
get
I
know
at
least
two,
if
not
three
settings
across
two
of
our
different
providers.
I
For
residential
services
to
provide
some
day
support
during
the
pandemic
and
in
our
group
home
settings
specifically
the
day
supports,
provide
an
opportunity
for
skill
development,
peer
interaction
and
Community
integration,
and
then,
lastly,
here
just
listed
some
of
the
services,
some
of
the
things
that
services
are
designed
to
enhance,
such
as
self-care
and
and
hygiene
toileting
task
learning,
community
resource
behavioral
skills.
I
The
emphasis
is
really
on
skill,
development
and
relationship
building
with
day
support
Services
as
well
supported
employment,
individual
supported
employment,
looks
at
tailoring
services
to
the
individual
specific
needs,
and
so
these
are
often
individuals
working
one-on-one.
You
know
in
in
in
in
employment
settings
that
are
of
interest
to
them,
based
on
their
abilities
and
that
emphasize
Career
Development
opportunities
as
well.
I
The
services
under
individual
support
and
employment
can
include
intakes
helping
individuals
to
look
for
and
identify
jobs,
so
some
job
exploration
and
Discovery
job
preparation,
marketing,
job,
coaching
and
other
just
supports
to
help
the
individual
maintain
their
employment
once
they
are
in
an
employment.
Setting
group
supported
employment
offers
supervised
employment
for
groups
of
no
more
than
eight
workers
with
disabilities
in
the
same
setting
in
Arlington,
certainly
for
our
Employment
Group
support
and
employment.
I
We
look
to
do
smaller
groups
that
average
around
three
to
four,
as
opposed
to
going
up
to
eight
individuals,
so
we're
looking
to
support
people
in
group
supported
employment
in
much
smaller
groups.
The
outcome
ultimately
is
sustained
employment
that
leads
to
further
career
development
for
individuals
participating
in
group
supported
employment.
We
would
love
to
be
able
to
have
to
see
them
and
to
support
them
moving
into
individual
supported
employment
as
a
stepping
stone
up
to
competitive,
integrated
employment.
I
Debilitation
and
employment
is
supported
by
two
ftes.
Our
employment
habilitation
Transportation
contracts
analysts
most
recently
that
was
Elizabeth
Cannon
I,
am
very
excited
that
we
have
someone
that
we're
on
boarding
later
this
month.
That
I'll
be
excited
to
tell
you
about
that
person
next
month.
We
also
welcomed
a
new
community
and
Workforce
Development
specialist.
This
is
a
new
position.
Some
of
you
have
the
opportunity
of
meeting
delbria
Walton
in
our
March
meeting.
I
I
do
believe
this
is
a
position
that
was
really
developed
out
of
the
work
of
the
public,
Consulting
Group
recommendations
and
so
really
helping
us
to
put
a
lot
of
those
recommendations
into
action,
and
so
she's
really
hit
the
ground
running
and
doing
some
very
exciting
things.
I
So
looking
at
some
of
the
data,
so
as
of
March
31st,
we
had
127
individuals
open
to
day
support
and
I'll
come
back
to
that
number
in
just
a
second
of
that
127
17
are
local
funded
and
14
of
them
are
funded
under
icfs
the
intermediate
care
care
facilities,
which
is
not
local
dollars.
We
have
21
individuals
that
are
open
to
group
supported
employment.
I
Eight
of
those
individuals
are
local
funded
and
then
we
have
11
individuals
that
are
open
to
supported
employment,
five
of
which
are
local
funded,
and
then
we
have
27
individuals
that
are
working
in
competitive,
integrated
employment
within
without
support,
and
that
number
is
inclusive
of
the
11
that
are
in
individual
support
and
employment.
But
we
then
have
16
individuals
that
are
able
and
and
successfully
working
in
competitive,
integrated
employment
without
supports
for
a
total
of
about
47
individuals
that
are
in
some
type
of
of
employment
that
we
support
here
in
the
county.
I
Some
highlights
for
habilitation
and
employment.
The
employment
Readiness
program,
which
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
earlier,
and
we've
been
talking
about
that
for
the
past
several
months.
In
terms
of
a
short-term,
more
interim
but
permanent
opportunity
to
increase
the
number
of
people
that
we
are
supporting
in
day
support,
so
the
employment
Readiness
program
is
licensed
as
a
day
program,
but
it
has
a
vocational
focus
in
in
getting
people
ready
for
employment.
I
We're
also
excited
that
we
are
continuously
meeting
the
state's
metrics
for
a
number
of
people
seeking
employment
that
are
actually
employed,
which
is
of
those
individuals
as
part
of
the
annual
planning
and
expressing
interest
in
wanting
to
work,
are
actually
employed
and
that
employment
metrics
is
at
50
percent,
and
we've
consistently
been
needing
that
and
are
probably
about
one
of
two
or
three
csbs
in
the
entire
state
that
are
consistently
meeting
that.
So
we're
pretty
proud
of
that.
Thank
you.
I
We've
had
a
group
supported
employment,
which
is
under
service
Source
at
Fort
Myer
and
most
of
the
Year
Goodwill
as
well.
We
are
no
longer
I'm
doing
the
contract
with
Goodwill
So.
Currently,
it's
Fort
Myer
is
the
only
setting
there,
but
hopefully
we'll
be
expanding
that
further
and
I
have
some
pictures
here
of
the
sense
that
we've
grown.
So
we
put
a
new
sensory
or
put
a
sensory
room
at
the
cic.
I
It's
a
beautiful
space,
it's
sort
of
back
in
the
corner
of
the
one
of
the
the
rear
multi-purpose
room
for
the
individuals
that
have
actually
been
there.
The
picture
on
the
top
is
kind
of
this,
not
textile.
You
can
sort
of
run
your
your
hand
across
and
make
different
kinds
of
designs.
I
We
have
a
rocker
in
there
we
have
some
other
cold
things
with
lighting
and
other
textile,
more
handheld
textile
things
as
well.
In
there
it
has
a
capacity
to
accommodate
up
to
three
to
four
people
I'm
at
a
time,
and
so
that
actually
just
opened
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
So
we're
very
excited
to
have
added
that
as
well.
My.
I
Oh,
that's
the
I'm,
sorry,
that's
the
woodmont's
Center
the
community
integration
Center,
so
some
of
you
probably
have
heard
of
it
as
the
Woodmont
center.
It's
our
it's
one
of
the
counties
to
day
support
programs.
It's
the
larger
of
our
two-day
support
programs.
I
B
This
is
residential
programs,
enable
adults
with
developmental
disabilities
to
live
with
family
or
independently
or
as
independently
as
possible
in
their
own
home
or
apartment
or
in
a
group
home
setting
residential
services.
That
I'm
going
to
talk
about
tonight
include
in-home,
supports
supervised,
Apartments
group
homes
and
respite.
B
We
learned
about
monitored
support
coordination
earlier
I
do
have
a
data
point
for
Intermediate
Care,
Facilities,
icfs,
Arlington's,
DD
Services,
provide
we
provide
monitored
case
management
for
our
ICF
folks
living
in
Arlington.
However
they're,
neither
waiver
nor
locally
funded
they're,
100
defense
funded,
but
I
I
still
consider
them
residential
services.
So
you'll
see
it
on
the
slide.
B
I
Me
and
one
tidbit
about
that
too.
Just
you
know
because
I
like
to
just
point
unique
things
out:
Arlington
Fairfax
and
the
city
of
Alexandria
are
the
only
localities
in
the
Commonwealth
that
actually
provide
any
monitor
case
management
or
supports
for
individuals
residing
in
Intermediate,
Care
Facilities,
so
for
all
other
jurisdictions,
it's
100
under
the
Department
of
Health,
but
in
our
region,
actually
in
for
the
entire
State.
Those
three
csbs
actually
provide
monitored
case
management,
so
which
is
just
an
extra
additional
layer
of
service
and
support
for
those
individuals.
B
B
There
were
some
vacancies
over
covid
and,
along
with
other
residential
vacancies,
it
was
really
hard
to
fill
residential
vacancies
during
a
pandemic.
So
what
those
houses
ended
up
doing
was
downsizing
their
license,
which
we
fully
support,
because
they
there
was
two
seven
Ben
homes
and
just
through
over
time
they
weren't
able
to
fill
the
spots.
So
it
was
The
Perfect
Storm
to
lower
the
license
amount.
B
So
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
in-home
supports
those
are
residential
services
that
take
place
in
the
individual's
home,
family,
home
or
in
community
settings
that
supplement
the
primary
care
provided
by
the
individual,
family
or
unpaid
caregiver,
so
in-home
supports,
are
not
a
guaranteed
first
level
service
provided
by
a
by
a
provider.
That's
always
going
to
fall
on
the
Family
next
is
supervised
apartments
and
that
provides
up
to
24
7
supported
living
and
one's
own
residence
licensed
by
a
provider.
B
So
that's
what
that
looks
like
in
practice.
Is
your
cluster
Department
model,
where
you
have
several
apartments
in
a
complex
and
staff?
Is
rotating
from
apartment
to
apartment,
as
individuals
have
support
needs?
Next
is
going
to
be
group
homes
and
those
are
congregate.
Services
provided
24
hours,
community-based
home.
B
H
B
B
In
in-home
services
we
have
31
individuals
being
served.
Six
of
those
are
local,
funded
and
I'll.
Add
that
to
the
slide
before
these
go
out
for
supervised
Apartments,
we
have
19
individuals
being
served
with
five
of
those
receiving
local
funding
for
group
homes.
We
have
62
individuals
being
served
for
those
are
locally
funded
and
there's
where
you
see
the
ICF
DD
statistic:
individuals
in
icfs,
and
that
brings
the
very
total
of
individuals
receiving
some
type
of
residential
service
to
130.
B
So,
under
the
doj
settlement
agreement,
there's
an
increased
focus
on
supporting
individuals
in
independent,
integrated
housing.
Housing
is
now
a
part
of
an
annual
conversation
facilitated
by
our
support
coordinators.
B
So
some
of
the
supports
for
integrated
housing
that
we
have
here
in
Arlington
include
our
permanent
Supportive
Housing
program.
We
have
Arlington
Housing
grants
that
we've
been
very
lucky
the.
B
We
have
Flex
funds
which
is
used
to
help
offset
expenses
from
moving
from
a
family
home
to
one's
own
apartments
and
then
for
those
coming
from
a
group
home
or
a
training
center.
There's
a
service
in
the
waiver
called
the
waiver
transition
funds
and
we
would
use
those
funds
for
for
those
individuals,
transitioning.
B
Sum
of
power
2023
program
highlights.
You
may
have
heard
that
we
are
redeveloping
a
county-owned
group
home
at
1212.
South
Irving
Street
has
come
along
quite
nicely.
They
are
Finishing
Touches,
but
it's
it's
beautiful
and
we
will
have
an
open
house
when
that
is
ready.
B
We
added
a
new
service
to
the
CRI
contract,
which
is
independent
living
supports
it's
it's
comparable
to
when,
when
the
voice
was
talking
about
the
building
Independence
waiver
and
how
easy
it
is
to
get
a
building
Independence
waiver,
if
someone
doesn't
qualify
for
waiver,
they
don't
quite
need
the
structure
of
an
in-home
support
service.
B
B
So
Independent
Living
supports
is
more
fluid,
so
they
they
are
able
to
provide
supports
to
people
who
have
fewer
support
needs
more
frequently
whenever
they
want
them
and
more
on
demand
than
prescribed
by
a
schedule
for
our
s-strap
slots.
We
were,
we
had
10
slots,
we
have
eight
eight
at
least
one
very
close
to
being
leased
and
another
one.
In
Prime
we
have
one
individual
who
transitioned
from
a
group
home
to
an
apartment.
I
I
Will
move
into
we'll
get
through
the
next
or
very
quickly
developmental
services
are
Transportation
supports
transportation
which
supports
individuals
whose
day
support
is
locally
funded
to
travel
to
and
from
their
programs.
This
year
we
have
six
routes.
I
This
is
actually
down
from
13
routes
in
Prior
fiscal
years
and
those
six
routes,
support
transportation
to
Arlington,
weaves
Etc
to
the
what
month,
Center
to
Alexandria
and
that's
to
the
Saint
Coletta
program
to
Melwood
here
in
Arlington
and
then
to
various
providers
out
in
Fairfax
County,
including
mvle,
into
service
Source
locations
across
Lorton
and
Springfield
and
I
think
one
might
be
an
Alexandria
Fairfax
County
and
that's
where,
with
those
six
routes,
the
diamond
routes,
so
I
do
want
to
give
an
update
because,
as
you
know,
we
have
been
transitioning
individuals
from
motive
care.
I
Excuse
me
from
Diamond
to
motive
care
across
the
mostly
this
fiscal
year,
but
starting
the
last
fiscal
year,
as
programs
were
reopening
in
the
early
part
of
the
fiscal
year
to
date.
Across
that
time
we
have
transitioned
65
individuals
with
the
DD
Medicaid
waiver
from
Diamond,
mostly
to
motive
care,
and
we
will
transition
the
final
three
individuals
by
June
30th
in
July
of
2022.
We
started
in
managing
the
transition.
I
We
started
logging
and
tracking
issues
related
to
the
transition
and
that
provided
an
opportunity
for
support
coordinators
to
share
information
with
each
other
for
them
to
figure
out.
You
know
when
they
have
similar
issues,
what
works
and
trying
to
get
things
resolved
in
terms
of
who
to
call
and
just
different
things
about
the
process
so
that
support
coordinators,
weren't
Reinventing,
the
will
from
person
to
person
so
really
an
opportunity
to
share
information.
I
So
to
date,
what
we
have
recorded
is
a
total
of
75
issues
that
were
locked
between
July,
1st
2022
and
March
31st
2023,
and
this
represents
issues
reported
for
14,
different
individuals
and
of
those
issues.
We
have
three
that
are
on
that
are
unresolved
as
of
today,
but
that
we
continue
to
to
work
on
resolving
those
issues.
I
Most
of
the
issues
have
been
centered
around
no
shows
late,
pickups
and
late
drop-offs,
with
an
average
time
and
I
put.
The
emphasis
on
average
to
resolve
issues
has
ranged
from
three
to
four
weeks.
Are
there
outliers?
Yes,
where
sometimes
it
could
take
less
than
that?
Sometimes
it
could
take
more
than
that
in
resolving
issues,
but
on
average
you
know
with
some
back
and
forth
is
is
three
to
four
weeks
in
getting
those
resolved
moving
into
self-directed
Services.
A
I
Some
have
that
the
parents
transport
some,
so
some
some
individuals
are
transported
directly
by
their
parents.
Some
have
switched
to
Metro
access.
I
M
I
You
so
self-directed
Services,
you
may
recall
we
started
this
in
Arlington
County
in
2021,
and
it
provides
assistance
to
families
through
US,
providing
direct
funding
to
the
family
and
with
some
technical
assistance
from
support
coordination
to
be
able
to
purchase
support
services
for
the
family
member
with
the
developmental
disabilities.
This
puts
more
control
into
the
hands
of
families
on
deciding
what
that
individual
is
going
to
do
in
terms
of
community-based
activity.
The
family
really
guides
the
meaningful
activity
day
activity
for
that
person
and
what
they
believe
is
beneficial
to
the
individual.
I
I
We
didn't
really
serve
do
much
because
we
launched
it
and
then
the
pandemic
happened
so
2020
2021,
we
didn't
I,
think
serve
anyone
under
self-directed
services,
so
numbers
to
date.
Looking
at
FY,
23
and
quarter
one.
We
had
four
individuals
that
were
open
for
self-directed
services
and
the
same
in
quarter
two
of
this
year
and
then
quarter
three.
I
We
are
serving
three
individuals,
one
of
the
individuals
that
had
been
receiving
self-directed,
Services
relocated
out
of
the
county
in
our
transition
planning,
with
our
FY
23
graduate
students
aging
out
of
this
the
school
year.
This
year,
we've
identified
four
individuals
that
are
interested
in
actively
and
exploring
being
supported
using
self-directed
Services
up
on
Aging
out
of
idea
in
June
there.
I
Also,
some
of
them
are
exploring
other
things
simultaneously,
the
same
day
to
self-directed
Services,
so
I,
don't
know
that
four
will
actually
move
into
self-directed
services,
but
I'm,
hoping
that
a
couple
of
them
actually
will
so
we're
continuing
to
grow
self-directed
Services
here
in
the
county,
and
that's
pretty
exciting
that
this
this
is
starting
to
you,
know
actually
being
used
and
just
to
see
the
benefit
of
it.
I
But
it
sounds
good.
Well,
you
know
a
lot
of
people
that
we
support
are
we
are
receiving
they're
they're.
Not
it's
I
would
say
it's
an
eligibility,
they
have
a
waiver,
they
have
other
local
funded
services.
So
the
majority
of
people
we
support,
fall
into
those
categories,
and
so
someone
would
have
to
give
up.
I
You
know
local
funded
services
to
use
self-directed
services
or
waiver
Services
so,
but
for
people
that
aren't
in
a
waiver
you
know
don't
have
a
waiver
are
having
the
parents
may
feel
that
a
day
support
traditional
day
support.
You
know
program
is
not
necessarily
the
best
fit
for
that
individual.
This
is
an
option.
So
I
don't
know
that
that
it's
something
that
people
are
offered
and
they
just
don't
want
to
do
it.
It's
usually
an
eligibility
issue
because
I'm
sure
we'd
have
people
that
are
waiver.
I
I
It's
a
family
support.
This
is
a
local
pool
of
funds
that
to
provide
financial
assistance
for
eligible
families
and
by
eligible
those
are
families
that
meet
the
income
requirements.
Some
income
requirements
for
Arlington
County,
but
families
soon
incur
extraordinary
disability
related
expenses.
I
These
funds
serve
families
who
care
for
family
members
with
the
DD
diagnoses
in
the
family
home.
So
the
person
has
to
be
living
in
the
home,
not
in
a
group
home
living
home
with
the
family
and
to
be
able
to
support
and
offset
costs
related
to
disability
related
expenses.
The
reimbursement
is
intended
to
be
partial,
with
families
contributing
a
portion
of
the
cost,
depending
on
their
resources
and
so
at
a
minimum,
we're
typically
looking
for
a
minimum
of
five
dollars.
You
know
ten
fifteen
dollars
something
that
offsets
the
the
funding.
I
Examples
of
allowable
expenses
include
respite
therapeutic
instruction,
Medical
Dental,
some
specialized
equipment
and
for
specialized
equipment
such
as
sometimes
we've.
You
know
done,
let's
say
an
ipac
that
has
some
type
of
assisted
devices
for
communication
I'm
on
there.
It
needs
to
be
with
the
recommendation
of
a
qualified
health
professional,
a
ptot
or
someone
in
the
same
for
assistive
technology
as
well,
and
minor
home
or
vehicle
modifications.
Those
latter
three
areas
need
to
come
with
recommendations
from
a
health
professional
for
this
current
year.
I
The
budget
for
family
support
is
28
000,
which
is
what
I
think
it's
been
since
I've
been
in
my
role,
the
total
amount
used
to
date
is
dismal
837.50.
This
has
actually
been
underutilized
in
recent
years
and
I've.
You
know
I
rack,
my
brain
as
to
why,
but
in
part
I
think,
due
to
increased
resources
available
under
the
DD
Medicaid
waiver
that
we
did
in
previous
me.
I
Genesis
the
technology,
but
also
resources
available
through
mcos.
So
when
we
do
get
requests
our
even
before
we
get
requests,
we
want
to
still
be
good
fiscal
stewards
of
County
resources
suggest
because
the
money
is
there
doesn't
mean
we
jump
to
that.
First,
when
there's
a
state
pot
of
money
that
can
be
used
for
some
of
the
same
resources,
so
people
aren't
going
without
the
needs.
I
We
just
have
more
and
some
additional
resources
available
to
families
that
we
didn't
have
some
years
ago,
but
it
is
still
a
good
source
of
funds
to
have
there's
also
been
a
lower
utilization
with
the
pi
program,
specifically
and
I'm,
not
sure
what
that's
about,
because
they
in
previous
years
as
I,
looked
at
some
of
the
data
they've
been
one
of
the
primary
programs
actually
using
family
support
and
that's
also
down
significantly
as
well.
I
It
is
required
to
have
a
developmental
disability,
but
the
way
that
the
funds
were
actually
approved,
Years
Ago
by
the
board.
It
is
not
required
that
the
individual
be
open
to
developmental
Services,
just
that
they
have
a
documented
developmental
disability.
A
I
Good
to
know
yes,
so
long
as
they
are
living
at
home,
yes,
okay
and
they
could
have
a
waiver
or
not
have
a
waiver
as
as
well
unlike
the
the
state's
individual,
Family
Support
I,
think
it's
just
for
people
that
are
on
the
wait
list,
I'm
certain
it's
just
for
people
that
are
on
the
wait
list.
I
So
the
last
program
is
our
DD
Mental
Health
Services
for
DD.
We
have
1.0
FTE,
a
full-time
mental
health
therapist,
and
she
provides
therapy
for
individuals
with
the
developmental
disability
and
a
DSM
diagnoses.
She
also
provides
psycho-education
for
individuals
with
the
developmental
disabilities
that
do
not
have
a
documented
DSM
diagnoses.
I
We
have
a
part-time
psychiatrists
who
provides
medication
management
for
individuals
that
are
open
to
developmental
services,
for
support
coordination,
oops
and
I
thought
I
had
the
data
I
put
it
on
the
other
slide
So.
Currently,
the
mental
health
therapist
has
30
individuals
and
the
with
a
gradually
actually
very
quickly
building,
so
we're
doing
some
management
around
that,
because
we've
gotten
an
increased
number
of
referrals
and
so
we're
we're
trying
to
balance
that
out
as
well
to
accommodate.
I
But
she
also
has
a
number
of
people
that
she's
able
to
close
for
services
as
well,
so
as
we're
closing
more
individuals,
we're
absorbing
newer
referrals
as
well.
I
Ideally,
to
start
keeping
a
weakness
for
that
position,
so
we've
been
fortunate
that
we
have
not
been.
You
know
had
to
do
that,
and
then
we
have,
for
the
part-time
psychiatrists,
currently
has
64
individuals
from
DD
that
he
is
supporting
with
medication
management
before
I
get
to
questions
and
answers.
I
did
want
to
go
back
to
the
employment
and
the
day
stay
support.
Specifically,
if
you
don't
mind,
let
me
see
if
I
can
find
that
slide
this.
I
This
slide
here,
I
did
want
to
to
point
out
in
FY,
I
guess
20
that
the
year
that
the
pandemic
hit
as
of
March
15th
of
that
year
of
2020,
we
had
141
individuals
that
were
open
to
developmental
services
and
we
currently
around
the
same
time.
Three
years
later,
we
have
127,
which
does
represent
a
decline
in
the
number
of
individuals
that
are
open,
but
I
wanted
to
give
just
some
comments
about
that
as
well.
I
One
of
the
other
things
that
we've
seen
since
the
pandemic,
we
have
had
an
unprecedented
number
of
individuals
that
have
relocated
or
moved
out
of
the
county
and
and
I
would
say.
Probably
in
my
first
probably
five
years.
We
very
seldom
had
people
move
away
already.
This
year
alone,
we
have
had
11
individuals
that
have
transferred
from
Arlington
csb
to
other
csbs,
and
partly
because
you
know
a
family
may
live
somewhere
else
in
the
state
and
they
want
their
son
or
daughter
to
be
closer
to
them.
I
Our
families
are
getting
older
and
people
they're
retiring
and
they
move
away
and
the
individual
goes
with
them.
So
when
we
start
looking
at
numbers,
shifting
particularly
projections,
because
our
projections
very
seldom
have
ever
took
into
consideration
people
moving
out
of
the
county,
and
certainly
with
the
the
volume
that
we
have
seen
in
the
past
three
years
and
so
I'll
we're
gonna
have
to
figure
out
in
terms
of
how
to
get
some
data
for
that.
I
The
part
of
the
problem
in
getting
some
of
the
data
is
in
a
timely
manner,
for
this
presentation
is
that
we're
be.
We
were
between
different
electronic
health
records,
and
so
some
of
the
data
is
in
our
previous
EHR
that
we
don't
have
the
same
ready
access
to
of
getting
data,
and
then
the
other
thing
that
we've
also
seen
in
looking
at
those
numbers
is
people
that
passed
away.
I
You
know
as
well
during
that
time
in
the
last
three
years
so
and
that
that's
been
pretty
significant
as
well,
but
a
big
shift
of
that,
though,
is
it's
just
this
unprecedented
number
of
people
that
have
moved
outside
of
the
county
and
I
think
that
when
we
start
talking
about
projections
and
numbers
that
we
do
need
to
take
that
into
consideration.
I
So
now,
with
that,
we
have
30
minutes.
A
I'll
start
with
the
with
one
question
that
you
begin
to
answer,
which
is
carols:
what
methods
do
you
use,
then,
to
target
capacity
that
will
meet
future
needs?
How
do
you
look
at
the
ins
and
outs
and
the
kids
coming
up
from
school
to
decide
we're
going
to
need
like
30,
more
slots,
a
day
programs
or
10
slots
or
we're
good?
Thank
you
very
much.
I
So
we
look
at
the
we
look
at
our
projected
growth,
starting
with
Arlington,
Public,
Schools,
and
so
I
mean
it,
and
so
we
know
you
know.
Recently,
we've
looked
at
five
years
out.
In
fact,
we
shared
that
information
I
think
sometime
last
year
with
with
Donna
for
for
a
grant
that
she
was
applying
for,
and
so
we
can
anticipate
what
we're
going
to
need
in
in
terms
of
students
aging
out.
What
is
also
helpful
is
starting
to
plan
sooner
than
the
past.
I
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
those
23
students
are
going
to
go
into
day
support
because
we're
also
seeing
increased
numbers
of
people
that
are
expressing
interest
in
going
into
employment
and
not
necessarily
day
support
and
so
balancing
that
out.
But
if
we're
starting
to
do
the
transition
planning
sooner,
we
can
predict
at
least
two
fiscal
years
ahead
in
terms
of
what
some
of
our
needs
are
going
to
actually
be
with
them
as
well.
I
We
also
know
because
of
of
cold
calling
phone
calls
that
we
were
doing
certainly
before
Elizabeth
started,
we'll
get
back
into
doing
some
of
those
calls
once
we
fill
her
position
is
trying
to
gauge
those
individuals
that
are
outside
of
the
county
attending
day
programs.
What
is
their
interest
in
returning
to
the
county?
So
we
know
from
a
survey
that
we
did
back
in
2019
or
2020
that
there
was
definitely
some
interest
in
people
attending
programs
outside
of
the
program.
I
Surprisingly,
a
majority
of
those
were
leaning
towards
keeping
those
individuals
in
those
programs
just
because
of
the
continuity
they've
been
establishing
those
programs
doing
well
and
not
necessarily
wanting
them
to
move
just
to.
You
know
come
back
to
a
program
in
Arlington,
so
we
kind
of
factored
those
in
as
well
into
into
the
growth.
A
So
are
there
any
us,
have
you
been
asked
to
provide
assumptions
about
for
input
into
the
CIP
program,
such
as
we
would
like
two
facilities
to
house
for
15
people
each
in
one
in
North,
County,
one
in
south
I
mean
like
have
you
have
any?
Have
you
have
any
numbers
been
requested
and
what
is
the
process
for
for
planning
for
a
future
CIP.
I
I'm
going
to
I'm
looking
forward
to
talk
as
Jim
can
better
speak
to
the
CIP
process.
Then
I
can
I
I
provide
data
to
jam
based
on
the
CIP
process.
So
I
will
let
Jim
speak
to
the
process
of
that
first
and
then
any
if
the
in
in.
If
there's
a
question
following
him,
I
can
certainly
follow
through
on
that
Jim.
O
Sure
so
and
excuse
my
my
voice.
I'm
I'm
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
toothache,
so
the
the
CIP
process
will
it
does
go
every
two
years
for
a
full
plan,
but
we
will
be
engaging
in
all
the
conversations
and
all
of
the
data
Gathering
in
the
next
couple
of
months
in
preparing
for
the
fy25
implementation
and
requests
right.
So
the
timeline
starts
much
sooner
than
right
up
to
where
fy25
is,
if
that
makes
sense.
O
So,
throughout
the
summer,
we'll
start
to
look
at
getting
some
additional
numbers
together
and
getting
some
additional
information
together
and
formulating
our
our
request
to
get
something
into
the
CIP
plan.
There's
also
just
a
number
of
factors
that
fall
into
this:
it's
not
just
about
money.
It's
finding
the
right
space.
You
know
you
know
working
with
the
voice
to
make
sure
that
the
space
meets
the
needs.
It's
you
know,
Gathering
feedback
on
many
different
levels,
so
there's
a
number
of
variables
and
factors
that
will
will
go
into
this.
A
Okay,
and
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
on
the
DD
committee,
one
of
the
motions
in
play
for
the
full
CSV
is
an
ability
to
be
part
of
the
development
of
the
I
guess
the
requirements
for
requests
for
proposals.
So
you
know
I'd
like
to
consider
virtual
Joe
to
to
bring
up
citizen
participation
in
the
planning
for
facilities
also
with.
I
That
also
like
to
remind
the
committee
too,
because
we're
definitely
committing
I'm
committed
to
getting
that
input
to
from
the
committee.
It
was
very
helpful
and
when
we
looked
to
develop
the
RFP
for
Irving
Street,
if
you
may
recall
there
was
a
a
work
group
that
gave
some
specific
suggestions
into
that
RFP
and
we
were
able
to
incorporate
the
majority
of
that
I
think
all
but
three
things
that
we
incorporate
into
the
RFP
and
the
things
that
we
did
not.
I
We
looked
at
incorporating
just
to
into
our
Contracting
in
general,
for
residential
services.
We
are
looking
the
closer
we
get
into
starting
this
longer
term
project.
If
you
may
recall
of
developing
a
stakeholder
Advisory
Group
that
which
would
have
input
into
the
process
of
giving
us
input
in
terms
of
location.
You
know
how
program
requirements,
expectations
and
that
would
include
an
opportunity
to
give
in
put
into
the
scope
of
work,
which
is
a
part
of
the
RFP
process.
I
A
I
A
Okay,
okay,
great
and
that
and
and
so
that
means
that
you're
also
looking
in
your
in
in
future
CIP
for
hybrid
employment
day
type
situations,
as
recommended
in
the
PCG
report.
Right.
I
We're
we're
actually
already
starting.
You
know
that
as
well.
We
have
a
few
people
and
and
certainly
look
to
have
this
increase
with
with
all
of
our
existing
contract
providers.
For
people
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
make
the
choice
of
doing
day.
I
Support
are
in
you,
know,
and
employment,
and
not
having
issues
between
one
or
the
other,
so
whether
that's
with
the
cic
I
think
we
have
one
or
two
people
currently,
even
at
the
two
people
at
Arlington,
weeds
Etc
that
are
there
part-time
and
and
certainly
looking
to
shift
that
now.
I,
don't
know
that
we
need
to
wait.
A
Thank
you
thank
you
for.
Thank
you.
Everyone
for
this
presentation,
I
learned
a
lot
and
I
help
other
folks
on
the
committee
learned
a
lot
are
there.
We
can.
We
have
time
for
one
question
and
then
we
have
quite
a
bit
of
stuff.
We
have
to
cover
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting.
Is
there
are
there
any
other
questions?
Barbara.
B
Yeah,
when
I
did
my
presentation
that
I
said
currently
in
Springfield
spoiler
alert
it's
going
to
be
back
in
Arlington
when
the
neighborhood
poem
opens
okay,.
H
B
Excuse
me:
six
feds,
total
Irving
Street
is
a
single
residency
apartment
on
the
basement
level
and
then
a
five
bedroom
group
home
on
the
second
and
third
levels.
So
in
one
of
those
five
one
of
those
five
will
be
some
people,
yeah.
A
Thank
you
and
or
somebody
else
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
yesterday
at
the
executive
committee,
I
believe
that
they
anticipate
Irving
Street
to
be
ready
for
occupancy
on
July
1st.
Oh
no,
no
I'm,
sorry
fault
that
the
new
employment
will
be
also
the
new
employment
day
that
the
day
program
for
employment
would
be.
J
So
the
construction
for
the
employment,
Readiness
Center
on
the
fourth
floor,
we're
anticipating
that
completion
to
be
at
the
end
of
June.
Okay.
So
if
you
think
about
you
know
getting
the
provider
and
the
Staffing
making
it
operational,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
all
as
well.
Okay,
so,
but
you
know,
maybe
things
will
happen
sooner,
but
just
thinking
about
all
the
all
the
processes
that
have
to
take
place
once
the
construction
is
completed.
End
of
June
for
the
fourth
floor,
employment,
Readiness.
J
We're
looking
at
fall
as
well,
so
that's
because
of
the
certificate
of
occupancy
and
fall
starts.
September.
B
A
J
J
A
Parts,
okay,
so
the
next
Sunday
agenda-
and
this
will
this
part-
will
be
relatively
brief
for
the
chairs
report,
and
this
is
going
to
be
chairs
report
and
Slash
new
business
as
the
DD
chair.
This
is
quite
a
handful
and
we
need
more
help.
A
So
I
have
asked
Bertram
again
if
she
will
co-chair
this
committee
with
me
and
and
also
checked
with
what
our
chair
of
the
csb
Wendy
Crawford
who's.
Also
on
this
call
I
mean
on
this
at
this
meeting
and
I
would
like
to
nominate
Bertram
again
as
co-chair
of
the
developmental
disabilities
committee.
Do
I
have
a
second
I,
have
a
third
and
we're
open
for
discussion.
Wendy.
A
Do
you
want
to
do
you
want
to
just
since
you've
come,
and
would
you
like
to
add
a
comment
about
the
the
co-chair
chair
chair?
Anything.
M
Sure
I
was
going
to
wait
and
tell
you
everybody
said
all
in
favor.
This
is
the
discussion
part
oh
I
would
say.
I
would
say
first
of
all,
very
excited
that
you're
that
you're
looking
at
this
sharing,
especially
so
excited
that
you're
inviting
bertra
to
join
you
just
for
background
for
the
rest
of
the
group.
M
All
of
the
other
committees
have
coached
the
coach
here
model,
because
this
chair
position
it
does
involve
a
lot
of
work
and
Sherry
does
an
amazing
job
as
a
Carol,
but
to
have
a
partner
to
share
that
with
makes
all
the
difference
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
your
committee
is
looking
at
this
and
I
I'm,
especially
glad
that
you're
looking
at
work
trip
for
this
work.
So
thanks
Sherry
who's.
A
Data
driven
and
bottom
line
oriented
and
yeah,
we
love
you
bertra
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
would
like
to
say
anything
about
any
of
this.
K
You
know
Cherry
I,
think
that
this
is
important
work
and,
as
Wendy
said,
it's
it's
a
lot
and
there's
so
many
interests,
both
mutual
and
and
non,
but
I
think
you
know.
The
important
thing
to
me
is
just
respecting
everyone's
time
and
making
sure
that
we're,
decisive
and
and
so
I
hope
I
can
support
you
in
that
way.
A
If
not,
I
would
like
to
hear
from
everyone
whether
or
not
you
support
this
nomination
of
virtual
s
co-chair
anyone
I
opposed
anyone
opposed
okay,
it's
unanimous
welcome
to
the
party
bertras.
Thank
you.
A
Q
Well,
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
I
like
to
say
it's
and
I've
always
kind
of
both.
This
I
guess
is
gosh.
Q
Sorry,
it
was
kind
of
fun
spot,
no
apologies,
but
no
I'm,
I
I'm
excited
because
I
think
it's
it's
scriptures.
That
is
very
important.
Work
and
being
a
part
of
it
is
I'm
just
very
happy
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
learn.
H
P
Q
Their
experiences-
you
know,
you
know
there
was
a
quote-
a
letter
from
a
social
worker,
Mr
Rogers
always
had,
and
it
was
something
online.
Today
I
tried
to
look
up
the
code
to
come
up
but
saying
online.
Q
You
know
things
like
you
can't
true.
Once
you've
heard
someone's
story,
you
cannot,
you
know,
learn
to
love
them
or
something
you
know,
and
that
that's
something
that
I
really
feel
with
is
kind
of
what
I'm.
You
know
why
I
want
to
be
a
part
of
csb
and
be
a
part
of
anything.
A
A
As
you
know,
we've
been
doing
these
listen
and
learns,
and
Lavoy
suggested
that
we
do
our
next
one
on
behavioral
supports
it's
something
that
we
haven't
spent
a
lot
of
time
on,
and
a
description
of
this
is
that
the
Jew
listen
to
learn
will
be
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
our
Region's
experts
in
the
fields
of
Applied,
behavioral
analysis
and
behavioral
intervention
services.
A
Parents
and
caregivers
will
learn
about
common
and
often
challenging
behaviors,
presented
by
individuals
with
developmental
disabilities
and
helpful
strategies.
Developmental
services
staff
will
talk
about
services
and
resources
that
are
available
to
families
and
caregivers.
So
the
voices
group
will
talk
about
therapeutic
consultation,
ABA
behavioral
support
under
the
waiver.
A
The
reach
crisis
service,
which
is
a
regional
mobile
crisis
and
crisis
therapeutic
home.
The
regional
project
office
and
behavioral
support
funds
for
individuals
on
the
DD
waiver.
Wait
list
will
have
a
presentation
from
the
mental
health
side
of
Bureau
to
talk
about
dual
diagnoses:
mental
health
issues
that
can
blend
into
behavior
health
or
at
a
minimum,
complicate
them.
So
many
folks
with
IBD
also
present
with
a
mental
health
problem.
A
So
we'll
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
how
to
you
know
how
what
kinds
of
services
are
available
on
the
behavioral
health
side
and
how
to
seek
those
services.
Then
we
have
Kristen
fergali
from
behavioral
and
from
core
analysis,
who's
going
to
focus
on
proactive
behavioral
strategies
that
incorporate
values
and
compassion
into
goal.
Development
and
intervention.
A
A
Pamela
cool
from
Grafton
has
not
given
us
exactly
what
she
plans
to
speak
about
and
then
I
believe
it's
going
to
be.
Jenny
Conroy
from
social
graces
will
also
present
at
that
lavois.
Do
you
want
to
say
anything
about
that.
I
Now
I
think
you
covered
it
quite
well.
A
Sherry
with
support
the
voice,
I
go
who
were
the
other
two.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
for
helping
out
with
this
the
other
instance.
That's
that's
come
to.
My
attention
has
been
that
Arlington
County
has
been
offered
10
additional
State
rental
assistance
program,
slots,
you've
heard
from
Jennifer
and
lavois
all
10.
A
The
first
10
were
were
available
beginning
in
October
they're
all
but
spoken
for
at
this
point
and
Genie,
are
you
still
here,
and
can
you
add
a
little
bit
more
on
what
you're
saying
from
from
a
from
dvhds
side
of
this?
Please.
N
There's
not
really
too
much
more
to
add
other
than
you
know.
We've
made
the
we
we
have
funding
available
this
year.
We
basically
approach
programs
that
are
at
the
highest
utilization.
N
N
So
at
this
point,
if
we
don't
expand
srap
in
Arlington,
we
will
have
to
start
a
wait
list,
and
you
know
the
benefit
of
srap
is
simply
that
it
provides
a
it's
it's
a
it's
got
a
little
more
flexibility
in
some
respects
than
some
of
the
other
resources
available
in
Arlington.
To
the
extent
that
it
you
know,
an
individual
can
have
a
living
Aid
as
an
accommodation
and
you'll
be
able
to
cover
the
red
assistants
will
cover
both
the
housing
for
the
individual
and
the
lemonade.
N
So
that's
a
that's
a
benefit
that
that
some
of
the
other
programs
wouldn't
necessarily
fully
cover.
So
that's
that's
really
it
so
I
think
you
know
we
are
flexible
in
terms
of
working
with
the
county.
If
there
are
issues
that
the
county
is
facing
regarding
being
able
to
fill
those
slots,
you
know
how
soon
they
can
fill
different
slots.
We
can.
We
certainly
can
work
with
them
on
that
and
there's
no
requirement
or
deadline
by
which
they
would
have
to
fill
in
extra
10
slots.
N
A
I
want
to
note
that
the
that
these
slots
were
allocated
by
the
general
assembly
in
acknowledgment
of
the
Department
of
Justice
settlement
to
promote
Community
integration,
Paul
gave
a
compelling
Paul
Osgood
gave
a
compelling
picture
of
what
being
able
to
live
independently
in
the
community
means
he
is
lucky.
He
has
a
housing
Choice
voucher,
he
says,
but
there
are
no
housing,
Choice
vouchers
available,
Pete's
living
in
an
apartment.
My
son
he's
living
an
apartment
with
a
companion
on
the
choice.
Vouchers
did
I
say
there
are
no
more
Choice
vouchers
available.
A
I
did
speak
to
Donna
budway,
who
I
think
is
somewhere
in
the
corner
here
and
she's.
Saying
that
the
demand
in
it.
Can
you
tell
us
about
the
demand
that
you're
seeing
Donna.
D
Please
yeah
I
mean
it's
interesting.
We
did
just
have
someone
move
in
from
a
group
out
of
a
group
home
here
and
we
are
seeing
more
and
more
elderly
parents
that
never
really
thought
that
this
was
going
to
be
a
potential,
a
setting
for
their
adult
children.
But
now,
if
we've
been
going
under
our
four
years
and
been
able
to
demonstrate
some
pretty
positive
outcomes,
families,
you
know,
we've
got
families
in
their
80s.
D
I've
got
I
mean
that
are
like
you
know,
and
they're
they're
young
adults
who
are
now
not
so
young
and
their
40s
50s,
are
now
talking
to
their
aging
parents
and
are
very
excited
by
the
potential.
So
we
do
see
people
that
we
are
kind
of.
Considering
on
our
soft
wait
list.
We
send
all
those
families
to
Genie
In.
The
state
they've
just
been
amazing.
The
way
they
have
worked
with
our
family,
but
do
I
personally
think
in
the
space
I'm
at
do
do
I.
D
Think
we
get
it
to
fill
10
slots,
absolutely
I
mean
there's
I
mean
just
in
the
in
the
in
the
world
that
we
are.
We
did.
It
was
interesting
to
hear
about
hearing
about
people
The
Voice,
leaving
the
state
we
have
I'm
leaving
Arlington.
We
have
families
that
are
leaving
other
parts
in
the
state
to
come
up
here.
We've
only
had
one,
that's
already
completely
made
the
transition
into
Arlington.
D
Actually,
we've
had
two,
but
we
have
had
other
people
move
into
OSG
properties
in
the
city
of
Alexandria
in
Fairfax,
just
because
they
really
can't
there
is
nothing
like
this
anywhere
else
in
the
in
the
in
the
state
and
I
know
you
guys
don't
want
to
hear
that
as
hard
as
you're
working.
You
don't
want
to
hear
that
people
are
moving
here,
but
I
do
think
there
is
a
movement
in
the
state
and
that
people
recognize
that
we're
actually
having
very
positive
outcomes.
D
So
thank
you,
Jeannie
and
the
committee,
everyone
for
your
hard
work,
but
do
I
think
there's
room
for
more
s.
Rep
absolutely
I
mean
that's
what
the
families
are
telling
us
and
honestly
people
I,
never
thought
in
my
lifetime
were
ever
going
to
think
that
their
adult
children
could
live
outside
of
the
family
home
or
could
live
outside
of
a
group
home.
So
thank
you
for
hearing
my
story.
Thanks.
B
Here
are
you
allowed
to
talk?
I
was
I
was
going
to
request
to
speak.
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
would
love
to
talk.
So,
yes,
we
see
the
value
in
sfap.
I
know
the
value.
I
also
know
that
we
have
all
those
test
Labs
used,
but
we
had
someone
come
to
us
just
last
week
and
we
haven't.
We
have
other
housing
opportunities.
B
I
can't
speak
to
them
yet
because
they
are
so
fresh
I
need
more
information
on
it
before
I
can
speak
to
it,
but
it's
not
it's
not
an
srf
voucher
and
it's
not
at
Arlington
Housing
Grant
and
it
will
provide
the
equal
benefits
30
of
a
person's
income
towards
rental
subsidy.
So
this
is
well.
The
best
wrap
is
30
to
40
percent.
A
person
pays
with
rent
and
utilities.
This
will
be
the
same.
So
it's
it's
other
resources.
The
housing
assistance
Bureau
has
brought
to
our
attention.
B
K
B
A
Okay,
so
and
the
and
the
the
person
that
turned
Genie
down
is
not
within
developmental
Services,
it's
within
the
housing
program
and
Deborah
and
Jennifer
just
said
that
there's
going
to
be
a
meeting
on
Thursday
about
that.
So
I'm
wondering
if
we
want.
B
B
You
can,
you
know
you
can
tell
Genie
or
our
stomping
ground,
but
really
it
needs
to
come
to
your
support
coordinator.
Your
support
coordinator
comes
to
me
and
brings
me
the
need
and
that's
how
we
get
services
and
funding
and.
I
Well
and
I,
and
also
to
go
back
to
the
slide
in
the
presentation
a
little
while
ago
about
integrated
housing.
So
our
support
coordinators
are
having
conversations
with
individuals
and
families
all
the
time
around
integrated
housing,
independent
integrated
housing,
recognizing
that
it
is
something
you
know
we're
fully
aware
that
is
part
of
the
dlj
settlement
and
an
emphasis
on
getting
people.
You
know
to
consider
integrated
housing.
I
We
have
fewer
Community,
Living
waiver
slots,
so
the
opportunity
of
housing,
more
people
in
group
homes
that
we
may
have
may
have
had
years
ago,
we're
we're
not
going
to
be
afforded
those
same
opportunities
in
the
future,
and
we
also
just
know
more
about
opportunities
for
people
to
just
be
able
to
live
independently,
and
not
necessarily,
you
know
in
group
home
settings,
nothing
against
group
homes,
and
we
support
that.
On
the
you
know,
independent
housing
as
well,
and
we're
not
going
to
let
someone
go
without
integrated.
I
I
We
actually
have
been
so
fortunate
to
have
housing
resources
and
and
locally
funded
psh
locally
funded
Arlington
Housing
grants
the
well
before
we
even
had
s-rap
in
Arlington
County
we've
had
unprecedented
numbers
of
people
that
have
actually
been
able
to
move
into
independent
housing
in
Arlington
under
Arlington
Housing
grants
and
are
excited
about
the
opportunities
that
come
with
the
S
grants
as
well
and
I
do
believe,
if
not
this
summer
soon
in
coming
months,
we're
going
to
be
opening
up
the
wait
list
for
the
housing
Choice
vouchers
here
in
Arlington
as
well.
I
We
don't
have
the
date
yet
for
that,
but
that's
going
to
be
opening
up
sometime
soon
here
in
Arlington
as
well,
and
so
there
are
a
vast
number
of
opportunities
for
people
to
explore
and
we
will
continue
to
encourage
you
know:
people
moving
and
transitioning
into
independent
housing.
A
H
A
Have
a
first
is
there
a
second
birth
chart?
Okay,
we've
discussed
it,
those
in
favor,
say
aye,
aye
opposed
I,
don't
hear
any
opposition
and
I
plan
to
take
our
motion
also
to
the
CSD
tomorrow.
I'm,
sorry,
the
voice
to
cut
you
off,
but
I
know
we
have
to.
We
have
to
meet
within
our
period
for
those
of
you
who
are
who
are
vendors,
if
you
can
either
put
something
in
the
chat
and
I
will
add
it
to
a
note
of
notice.
A
After
this
meeting
in
the
voice,
I'm
sure
you
can
get
me
the
PowerPoint
to
send
out
through
the
DD
email
list
and
Community
Living
Alternatives
has
just
opened
a
new
group
home
in
my
neighborhood
and
I
hear
that
they
have
openings.
A
So
those
of
you
who
are
looking
for
group
homes,
that's
up
to
your
service
coordinator.
Okay
at
that,
is
there
any
other.
