![]() State Partnership Initiative (SPI) |
|
The twelve States listed below conducted SPI projects:
SPI was designed to help Project States in the development of programs of employment support services for their residents with disabilities that would (1) increase job opportunities; (2) decrease dependence on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits; and (3) foster the development of community resources. Virginia Commonwealth University provided technical assistance to the States.
The SPI Projects fostered collaboration between SSA, its funding partners, as well as other Federal and State agencies. The new approaches developed by the States under this program created and enhanced Federal-State partnerships and served as models for other States.
The State Partnership Initiative Evaluation, published in May 2006, is now available. Read the summary or the full report.
