Current Narrative:
Although NV VR has no plans for establishing or developing CRPs, we are deeply invested in improving relationships with our existing CRP’s. One of the pivotal pieces in those relationships is the overall move from CRP’s being providers of sheltered/sub-minimum wage settings to being providers of competitive and integrated employment. By the end of 2022, almost all of the CRP’s will be competitive and integrated, thereby philosophically being more inline with NV VR philosophy and making collaboration much more possible. We look forward to more meaningful collaboration leading to competitive integrated employment for more Nevadan’s.
