The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, or Iowa HHS this week, announced the intent to award seven individual contracts to entities that will serve as Disability Access Points across the state.
Disability Access Points are district-level organizations that connect individuals with disabilities to providers who can provide the necessary services to meet their needs. DAPs provide information, assistance, and person-centered planning to those who walk through their doors.
The Disability Access Points will serve the same seven districts outlined in the Behavioral Health System.
The new Disability Services System will begin July 1st.
In the broadcast area, Behavioral Health District #3 covers Grundy, Hardin, Butler, Franklin, and Cerro Gordo Counties, while Behavioral Health District #2 covers Wright County.
