Project Description:

The five-year project in Iowa was titled the Iowa Blueprint for Change (IBC) and will advance and improve statewide systems so that Iowans with disabilities have access to CIE opportunities that lead to economic security. The project will accomplish this goal by focusing on systems-level interventions to promote State policies, funding, and practices that support CIE within the State as the first and preferred outcome for all Iowans with disabilities. The team will also utilize participant-level interventions to increase individual readiness for, and access to, CIE for these individuals
