Current Narrative:
The total authorized dollars for CRP supported employment services in FY 2015 was $730,838 for 259 consumers with most significant disabilities. This is a decrease from the previous FY, when 275 consumers were served and $1,097,408.88 authorized for CRP SE services.
As previously addressed in the discussion of DRS Goal 5, DRS continued to promote the expansion community rehabilitation programs to expand their services into potentially unserved or underserved areas. DRS continued to identify new community rehabilitation programs to increase the availability of supported employment services (i.e., job coaching) for West Virginians with significant disabilities. The agency continued to emphasize job coaching for DRS consumers who are not in the supported employment program.
