CASE SERVICES During the fiscal year ending9/30/2025, 43 consumers received financial assistance through Part B Case Service Funds and/or restricted donor funds. These supports helped remove barriers and improve accessibility so individuals could live and work independently in their homes and communities. Funds were used to support a variety of needs, including ramps and bathroom modifications, as well as other accessibility-related improvements. To help individuals remain safely housed and stable in the community, DNEC also helped with rent and security deposits, utility bills, and food. In addition, we helped meet essential health needs by purchasing items such as air conditioners and air purifiers. Case service funding also supported consumers with important durable items and equipment, including beds, lift chairs, stair lifts, rollators, and other mobility supports. When transportation challenges created barriers to independence, DNEC assisted with car repairs and vehicle registration. CONTINUED on SCHEDULE O.
