After a required planning phase, a new "Money Follows the Person" grant will help 900 people with disabilities go from living in nursing homes and institutions to living in the community.
The Nebraska Health and Human Services System (HHSS) will receive $202,500 the first year to develop a statewide long-term care plan, and will receive a total of $27,538,984 over five years to develop community services for individuals with disabilities. Nebraska is one of 17 states to receive this grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
