I am looking forward to talking with you about the reorganization, meeting with our partners, and answering your toughest questions. This meeting will be for both DHS staff and for partners. If you know a partner who should be invited, please let him or her know. Here are some questions I am hearing Thank you for the great questions you are asking, both in our local meetings and by e-mail. These are samples from the community meetings.
Federal law specifies that some federal funds be spent only for discrete purposes.
Therefore, Vocational Rehabilitation funds will be spent only for Vocational Rehabilitation counseling and allied services, for example. By braiding, I mean funds for one purpose will work together with other funds to deliver complementary services to clients. We aren't asking our partners, including counties, to change. We do hope, though, that what we build will be attractive enough that partners will want to join us. Working in teams, we will do a better job of assessing peoples needs.
