Current Narrative:
Maine DVR was not able to expend Supported Employment grant funds for FFY 19. In FFY 20, DVR received $252,000 in Supported Employment grant funding. DVR has struggled to expend Supported Employment funds in recent years due to limitations on how funding may be used. In FFY 2019, DVR served 626 individuals in a Supported Employment plan. DVR anticipates having funding to serve 650 individuals in FFY 2020 and FFY 2021, however due to limited demand and ability to spend Supported Employment funds for youth, DVR is unlikely to be able to fully spend its Supported Employment funds for adults.
