Current Narrative:

ARS will continue to provide outreach activities to individuals from minority backgrounds, individuals with the most significant disabilities, and others who are unserved or underserved.

ARS will provide training to improve outreach activities to unserved and underserved minority populations in order to improve performance on the performance accountability indicators.

ARS will utilize its network of Community Rehabilitation Programs to identify individuals with disabilities who are minorities and/or have the most significant disability. These individuals, who because of rural living, a lack of transportation, or English as a second language, can be referred to ARS and other support service networks needed to reach employment.
