Services are coordinated from the outset of involvement to ensure that the clients receive appropriately sequenced services in order to achieve the best possible employment outcomes. VR’s Title VI, Supported Employment Funds are $253,200 for FFY 2021. At a current cost per case of approximately $3,310, VR will be able provide services to approximately 77 clients using these funds. The number of individuals receiving supported employment services is much larger than this number and is supported using Title I funds.
In PY 2022, and PY 2023, the VR Program will work with the Office of Developmental Disabilities (ODDS), a State agency within the Department of Human Service (DHS) to access and utilize funds from CMS to provide pre employment Discovery services and post VR Employment supports. In PY 2022, and PY 2023, the VR will also work with the various providers of Youth Training and Employment Services through the WorkSource Oregon system and the local Workforce areas (LWA) under the provisions of the WIOA to work with Youth with the most significant disabilities as is appropriate.
