Future Dan Thompson Account Funding

Thank you for participating in this survey. We want to collect your feedback for future projects funded by the Dan Thompson Memorial Developmental Disabilities Community Services Account. We learned a lot about what activities we couldn’t fund last round, because the services and supports cannot duplicate what already exists under DDA’s Home and Community Based Services Waiver or Medicaid State Plan Services. There is approximately $5 million available for the next round and all projects must be completed by June 2025.

Your responses are not scored. Your participation does not impact your current benefits or organizational funding. There are nine questions and should take about five minutes to complete.
