Medicaid Infrastructure Grant - (MIG)

The project will develop a strategic planning process, driven by consumers, to develop a comprehensive employment system assisting individuals with disabilities seek and maintain gainful employment. In addition, this project builds on efforts of the previous MIG project to advance employment outcomes for North Dakotans by providing technical assistance on self-employment opportunities for persons with disabilities and best-practice approaches in person-centered planning and customized employment supports. The NDCES will continue to identify and implement systemic solutions to barriers identified by MIG stakeholders, such as access to benefits planning, personal assistance services, and affordable/accessible housing.
