Project Overview
The purpose of this project is to transition individuals from hospitals, nursing facilities and ICF-MRs to community settings. The project will review and consider individuals currently institutionalized, including the elderly, medically-fragile children, and youth and adults with disabilities who express a choice of community living.
This five year project, beginning in 2007, is funded by a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Money Follows the Person Rebalancing Demonstration grant. The project is a collaborative effort between the Department of Human Services (the state Medicaid agency) and its community partners. The community partners will serve as members of a Stakeholder group to plan the successful implementation of the project. The Center on Disability Studies at the University of Hawai‘i will be a partner in the pre-implementation phase and in the evaluation of the project.
