Formula Grant H187A250039

This $150,000 Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities formula grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (CFDA 84.187), supports the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services in providing vocational rehabilitation services to help individuals with significant disabilities obtain and maintain competitive integrated employment.

The grant funds will be used to deliver a range of employment support services, including job training, vocational counseling, workplace accommodations, independent living assistance, and employment skill development. This is intended to enable economic self-sufficiency and community integration for participants with the most significant disabilities. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services will likely sub-award portions of the grant to local workforce development boards, community organizations, and educational institutions to implement these employment support services at the community level across the state.
