Current Narrative:

 

Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) plans to continue to identify needs and provide resources, as available, to improve the efficacy of community rehabilitation programs in Michigan. Improvements will be based on the findings of the 2020 Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment, input from the state rehabilitation council, the MRS Strategic Plan, and collaboration with WIOA core program partners. Strategies include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Increasing communication with community rehabilitation programs through consistent meetings which involve both the VR and provider staff to discuss service requirements, opportunities, expectations, challenges, and resolutions;
  • Provide training to community rehabilitation providers;
  • Conduct targeted outreach for providers in areas with identified service gaps;
  • Collaborate with SRC to identify community agencies and programs to establish new and varied provider and liaison relationships;
  • Collaborate with community organizations to increase awareness of MRS and advance the mission of the bureau;
  • Embrace the dual customer approach and partner with business to meet their training, recruitment, hiring, accommodation, and retention needs; and
  • Engage the provider network in the process of establishing reasonable rates as defined in 2 CFR 200.
