This study identified various direct and indirect strategies for financing supported employment, based on discussions with individuals in Minnesota and across the United States, reviewed supported employment efforts in selected states, conducted a review of literature, and explored related initiatives in other health and human service areas. Key strategies identified include: (1) setting specific benchmarks or objectives for converting the existing system to one more oriented to providing training and employment in integrated settings; (2) setting a cap or moratorium on expenditures for sheltered work, work activity, adult day programs, and related services; (3) appropriating new state dollars earmarked for supported employment and reallocating current public dollars; (4) establishing segmented or sequential financing arrangements; (5) pooling dollars from several sources; (6) targeting efforts to make maximum use of provisions under existing public programs such as Supplemental Security Income and the Job Training Partnership Act; (7) establishing state and local interagency agreements; and (8) creating an entity supported by all key state agencies to provide training, technical assistance, and related activities. Each of these strategies is discussed, along with examples from selected states. Possible next steps for Minnesota are explored, and a list of 26 references is included. (JDD)
