d. 2. P. ii. I. Identify the Strategies That Contributed to the Achievement of the Goals.
Current Narrative:
FY 2016 Goals for the Supported Employment Program and strategies that contributed to the achievement of the goals were as follows:
Goal 1: Monitor and evaluate the new supported employment outcome-based model that was implemented FY 2013.
Evaluation of Progress: Goal met.
MVR has produced extensive work through the CRP-MVR steering committee team in order to maximize benefits for supported employment (SE), which includes the IPS services. MVR and the CRPs developed and implemented a new outcome-based SE model FY 2013. Statewide training for MVR and the CRPs was provided.
MVR also revised its cooperative agreement with CRPs to align with the new outcome-based model. This agreement includes service provision, authorization, billing, compliance and verification processes.
Goal 2: Research the efficiency and effectiveness of braided programs with Workforce Development.
Evaluation of Progress: Goal met.
MVR initiated the creation of a braiding services team, comprised of WIOA core partners and other entities that serve individuals with disabilities, to develop methods and strategies to support collaboration between partner agencies, promote greater understanding of the services provided by each agency, and discover methods to avoid duplication of services.
