Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration projects across the country say that the biggest obstacle to successful transition is the lack of affordable, accessible housing.

Coupled with lack of housing, there is typically a lack of formal services and limited (if any) public transportation.

The Accessibility Compliance Management System (ACMS) is a fully accessible, web-based software application designed to track Section 508 Program Office activities and compliance for all Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Components. The system was custom-built for the DHS Office of Accessible Systems & Technology (OAST), which provides governance and oversight for DHS accessibility programs.

The online Orientation Training Module was developed by New Editions for the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research’s (NIDILRR’s) peer reviewers. The module was created to help peer reviewers better understand their responsibility and role in reviewing materials submitted by NIDILRR grantees for various grants.

The review addresses program design and implementation, and describes services across state, regional and national levels. Little research on participant outcomes was identified, but recommendations for next steps are provided.
