Through a collaborative effort among the West Virginia Bureau of Senior Services, the West Virginia Bureau for Medical Services, and the West Virginia Olmstead Office, the Transition Initiative was created to assist those with disabilities and seniors who reside in nursing facilities to live and be supported in their communities. The Initiative enables those who are served to experience increased independence, dignity, choice, and flexibility to access in-home and community supports.
Funding of up to $2,500 is provided for reasonable and necessary start-up costs, including security deposit for housing, set-up utility fees, moving expenses, essential home furnishings, and home accessibility adaptations.
