Update on the RFQ process

As we have promised, I wanted to update you on the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process to have a provider to become the operator of the adult centers in Hamilton County. In late July, REM Ohio/Mentor Network, Person Centered Services and Active Day submitted statements for the RFQ.

New DD bills now law

On July 13, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed two important DD-related bills into law at St. Joseph Home in Sharonville. One officially removes the "R" word from the Ohio Revised Code, and the other relates to direct nursing and early intervention services.

STABLE Accounts now available

Ohio became the first state in the nation to offer STABLE Accounts, made possible by the federal Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act. These accounts allow individuals with disabilities the opportunity to save and invest money without losing eligibility for certain public benefits programs.
