The PRVRA will explore in the community, agencies, organizations, legislature and social interest groups, the availability of funds to the PRVRA for the provision of supported employment and extended services for the youth with the most significant disabilities. As part of those efforts, in 2016 the Agency signed a collaborative agreement with the State Council on Developmental Disabilities for the optimization of interagency resources, develop a community support network in favor of individuals with the most significant disabilities, including youth, employment activities to promote inclusion of these population into integrated work settings, activities or projects to provide extended services, among others.
