The number of eligible individuals who receive services have been trending downward since DVR went on an Order of Selection in August 2018. Again, it is hoped that with aggressive attempts (doubling efforts) to contact participants via phone calls, emails, and mail this will increase the amounts of participants found eligible for services. Through these aggressive efforts, DVR hopes to identify those participants who want to engage DVR and those who are not ready for services. Those participants that are not ready for services will be closed to make room for more participants to come off the wait list.
