The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) has received a federal grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to develop the infrastructure to support competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities.
The infrastructure grant program was established in 1999 when Congress passed the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act. The purpose of the grant program is to enhance state Medicaid programs and services, promote links between Medicaid and other employment-related services agencies, and develop a comprehensive system of employment supports for people with disabilities.
The project will continue to build on initial efforts to promote sustainable systems change that will integrate employment opportunities and ultimately help Montanans with disabilities to achieve greater self-sufficiency.
A broad-based coalition of Montanans has been established to further the goals and objectives of the project.
