Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To construct and operate a center for Community Inclusion which will assist clients of the Dept. of Children and Family Services developmental services to become active participating members in their local communities in North Florida.  The project will serve and support DS clients who were institutionalized,in crisis or on waiting lists for services (underserved) in counties.  The Center will be built in Leon County but will operate satellite facilities in Calhoun, Liberty, Taylor, Franklin and Wakulla counties.

The Center for Community Inclusion will provide adult day training and employment opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities.  The center will serve as a central location for clients, families and various support groups to conduct the daily business of providing service and support to individuals with disabilities.  The center will provide training, employment and respite based on the choices and needs of North Florida Citizens with disabilities.  The center for Community Inclusion will prevent institutionalization of same DS clients and thereby save the State of Florida and taxpayers from costly institutional care and future litigation as evidenced in the past.
