If I get anything will definitely share!
I would like to see this information as well. As part of our DOJ settlement it is an area of continuous struggle

Good afternoon! We are looking at collaborating with our DD agency to do several workshops for providers interested in developing and implementing innovative independent, integrated housing options, particularly
for individuals with ID/DD that have high medical needs or significant behavioral challenges. These workshops would be mandatory for providers who want to submit a proposal through an RFP process. I am hoping that some of you may have examples of innovative
(which Virginia would be just about anything J) providers and practices that have resulted in individuals living as independently as possible with the supports
they need and being a true part of their communities. Group homes and apartment buildings just for people with disabilities not wanted! We are hoping to potentially bring some folks in from other states who have done it right to help move Virginia forward
as part of its DOJ Settlement agreement. Thanks so much for any guidance, assistance, and contact information you can provide. Heidi
