Provide financial management services, including fiscal/employer agent service, in a program of participant-directed long term supports and services. EOA desires to offer participant-direction to (1) Veterans of all ages referred by the Veterans Health Administration as participants of the statewide Veterans-Directed Home and Community Based Services Program and (2) other non-veteran older adults statewide living in their usual homes who may be at risk of placement in a nursing or assisted living facility, care home or foster home due to functional challenges. The program purpose is to help these targeted participants remain living in their homes with dignity and quality of life and avoid impoverishment. These programs will serve participants by providing a budgeted monthly fund amount to purchase supports planned and managed by the participant, such as employing personal assistance in the home or goods that support the participant to remain living at home.
