Current Narrative:
VRS utilized a Request for Proposals process to shift Extended Employment funding from areas with surplus capacity to areas with limited resources. This expanded Minnesota’s service capacity for supported employment, including the supported employment needs of transition–age youths and young adults, low incidence populations of persons with disabilities and other unserved and underserved populations. VRS is currently engaged in the rule making process to shift Extended Employment state dollars from center–based employment to integrated competitive work sites.
