__________
[13] Sec. 102(b)(2)(D)(iii) of WIOA
n. 1. Specify the State's goals and priorities for funds received under section 603 of the Rehabilitation Act for the provision of supported employment services
Current Narrative:
In PY2018, under agreement with the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (IDVR), ICBVI no longer receives any Title VI funds, as IDVR has agreed to manage the SE program for the state. Formerly, these funds were distributed in case service allotments to ICBVI regional offices to fund supported employment services under individualized plans for employment (IPE’s). ICBVI focused Title VI, Part B funds on SE services including extended services for youth.
As needed, the Commission will continue to provide SE services under general Title I funds.
In PY 2018 and PY 2019, ICBVI provided supported employment services to a total of 4 participants (3 youth with the most significant disabilities and 1 adult with the most significant disabilities). As required under state agreement, these participants were co-enrolled with the Idaho Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (IDVR).
ICVBI anticipates providing supported employment services to the following over the next 2 years:
PY 2020
- 2 adults with the most significant disabilities
- 2 youth with the most significant disabilities (including extended services).
PY 2021
- 2 adults with the most significant disabilities
- 2 youth with the most significant disabilities (including extended services).
