State supported employment services

The Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services awarded Massability $148,472 on October 1, 2025, under the Supported Employment Services for Individuals with the Most Significant Disabilities program (CFDA 84.187).

Massability, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, uses the funding to provide supported employment services for individuals with the most significant disabilities in Massachusetts. The award supports the development and delivery of collaborative programs in partnership with public and private non-profit organizations to help vocational rehabilitation consumers achieve supported employment outcomes. The period of performance runs through September 30, 2026, with place of performance in Boston, Massachusetts.

The Supported Employment State Grants program provides formula-based supplemental funding to state vocational rehabilitation agencies. Funding is distributed through the statutory formula to states with an approved supported employment supplement to their vocational rehabilitation services plan. Massability, as the designated state VR agency, is eligible to receive and administer these federal funds under the Unified State Plan for Massachusetts.
