State supported employment services

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded the Vocational Rehabilitation Division (Delaware Department of Labor) $129,000 on October 1, 2025, under the Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities program (CFDA 84.187), a formula grant providing supplemental funding to state vocational rehabilitation agencies to serve individuals with the most significant disabilities.

The award funds supported employment services in Wilmington, Delaware, over the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026. The program assists states in developing collaborative programs with public and nonprofit organizations to provide supported employment services—including job coaching, transportation, assistive technology, and ongoing employment support—enabling individuals with the most significant disabilities to achieve competitive integrated employment. The division administers the grant as the state VR agency designated in Delaware's Unified State Plan for VR services.
