Current Narrative:
For FY 20, the following estimates apply: It is estimated a total $83,698,546 will be available to deliver services which includes Title I funds, state matching, Social security reimbursement and funds earmarked for the provision of Pre-Employment Transition Services. In FY 19 approximately 58% of the Students receiving Pre-Employment Transition Services were students who were potentially eligible or not yet eligible for VR. Subtracting an estimated 58% ( $5,693,629) of the estimated $9,816,603 reserved for Pre-Employment Transition services, the funds available for the delivery of services to eligible consumers and applicants is $78,004,917.
FY 20
Estimated Number to be Served 23,000
$78,004,917 Total Funds available
Average Cost of Services Part B Title I Funds = $3,392
It is estimated that funding under Title I, state matching dollars, and other sources will remain stable. These estimates of funds available and number of persons served will be the same for Fiscal Year’s 21 and 22.
FY 22

For FY 20 it is estimated there will be 3,500 eligible consumers under Title VI.
The federal grant award for Title VI funds available is projected to be $300,000 for each fiscal year.
The average cost of serving an eligible consumer is approximately $3,400. Therefore only 88 eligible individuals will be served with the available Title VI federal grant award. 50% or more of these individuals will be consumers who are youth with the most significant disabilities. The remainder of the consumers receiving services under a supported employment plan will receive such services under Title I funds. It is estimated that funding under Title VI will remain stable.
These estimates of funds available and number of persons served will be the same for Fiscal Year’s 21 and 22.
FY 21- $300,000 with 88 individuals to be served with the available Title VI fund grant award.
FY 22- $300,000 with 88 individuals to be served with the available Title VI fund grant award.
