In February 2024, the Shapiro Administration announced a multi-year strategy to expand access to home and community-based services and effectively end the emergency waiting list for adults with intellectual disabilities and autism. Developing policies to support Administrative Entities (AEs) to have more authority to manage the relationship between budget allocations and waiver slots is rooted in foundational planning between The Office of Developmental Programs’ (ODP) and its county partnership. ODP will be hosting monthly Virtual Office Hours (VOHs) for AE regarding Multi-Year Program Growth Strategy to assist AEs with readiness and management of budget/capacity.
