IFSP Funding
 

How long Virginia? How long will you continue to put the most vulnerable at the bottom of the funding list? Because of federal oversight Virginia has had to change their ways but Will failing miserably. With decent budget overages there is no excuse for not funding all children and adults in need for support on the DD Waiver. The pay for people to help these individuals at home and in the community is far below a living wage. Housing is horrid for this population and with current increases in the cost of living, no doubt it will get worse. 
Please step up and take care of what needs taking of now!
