STATEMENT
This bill makes an FY2026 supplemental appropriation of $1 million to the Division of Developmental Disabilities in the Department of Human Services for the Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program transportation.
The Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program serves individuals with disabilities over the age of 21, filling a critical need for this population as it transitions out of educational programming. Through the provision of daily life care supports, therapy consultation, and recreational and socialization opportunities, the program provides participants with a respectful environment of continued growth and independence. Transportation is key to participation in this day program. While most participants receive Medicaid coverage, transportation funding under Medicaid is inadequate. These additional State funds will ensure participants have consistent and reliable access to transportation in order to receive the beneficial services provided by the Larc Norcross School Special Needs Adult Program.
