2008 RSIF Grants |
INTRODUCTION |
| The Middle Peninsula Disability Services Board's Rehabilitative Services Incentive Fund is designed to address unmet or underserved needs of persons with physical and/or sensory disabilities as related to the 2006 Needs Assessment Report. |
|
OBJECTIVES |
| The guiding principles for the Rehabilitative Services Incentive Fund are: |
|
 To serve as a first step in the development of the community-based, consumer-focused service delivery system envisioned by the Commission on the Coordination of the Delivery of Services to Facilitate the Self-Sufficiency and Support of Persons with Physical and Sensory Disabilities in the Commonwealth. |
| To establish fiscal incentives for state and local commitment of resources to address needs identified by a DSB for new programs or expanded access to existing services. The State RSIF cannot be used to supplant the existing funding of a service operating in the community. Participation in the RSIF is a local option. |
| Fill the gaps that exist in funding available to service providers and consumers of disability services. |
| To provide seed money for program innovation and coordination of services among organizations, jurisdictions, and Disability Services Boards. |
| To enable DSBs to serve as catalysts by leveraging resources for services from multiple private and public sources and to stimulate statewide expansion of models that work. |
