Virginia launches website describing community living choice project for seniors
and individuals with disabilities.
Virginia is one of 31 states participating in a five-year, $1.75
billion Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration project
designed to create a system of long-term services and supports
that assist individuals to transition from certain long-term care
institutions into the community. This project supports Virginia’s
Olmstead initiative and complements the efforts of the recently
awarded Systems Transformation Grant that aims to improve
the infrastructure for community-based long-term supports.
Virginia’s MFP project, administered by the Department of
Medical Assistance Services, will make over $28 million in federal Medicaid funds
available to support Virginia’s seniors and individuals with disabilities.
