What Will Funding and Support Look Like in the Future? @ DFR - The Gathering Place
Jul 31 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

An Opportunity for Input and Feedback on the Individualized Funding Pathways and Possibilities Model. While the Ministry is well into the Journey to Belonging reform process, ways of bringing about Individualized Funding to people with disabilities are being designed and discussed. Will there be direct funding in the future? Will there be a place for a family support organization like DFR which works in partnership but does not take control? Who will do the planning so that it remains focused on a life in contributing ways in real community? DFR has been involved with this particular three pathway model for IF for the near future. Our in-person evening is an opportunity to come and check out what this individualized funding model looks like, try it on for size (“will this fit for me?”), suggest changes and revisions, and give your feedback while this is still in the design stage.

Let’s Talk: Considering Microboards and other self-directed support organization models @ The Gathering Place - DFR
Aug 13 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm

There is a lot of buzz in the air around Microboards and their potential and advantages to safeguarding the future. Let’s come together to understand what attracts people to these selfdirected support organizations and how we can consider these in the future of our loved ones. Let’s also take a look at what they can and cannot do, what cautions to take into consideration, when and if we might want to build a non-profit organization around our loved ones and deepen our understanding of what we individually might want to focus on in securing a good future for our family member.
