TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The state agency providing care for about 30,000 Floridians with
developmental disabilities is implementing a new funding formula to
squeeze the most service out of every tax dollar, while giving families
more discretion in using their state allocations.
The
iBudget Florida program will be implemented across the Panhandle and
much of North Florida by April 1. Michael Hansen, director of the Agency
for Persons with Disabilities, said Wednesday the new system may mean less money for caregivers of some people with severe intellectual and developmental disabilities – but that funding will be tailored to the needs of each client.
That’s what the “I” in iBudget stands for – individual.
