SCI Attends MFP Event!

Recently, SCI had the honor of attending a Money Follows the Person (MFP) celebration hosted by the Maryland Department of Health (MDH), MFP team. This event was held to celebrate successes and share experiences. In attendance were Support Planning Agencies, Area Agencies on Aging, Centers for Independent Living, and individuals themselves who have transitioned.

MFP resources can be used to support Peer Mentoring, Options Counseling, Housing Assistance, and Flexible Funds. Community living was heavily discussed during this event as a basic human right that is often overlooked when individuals are institutionalized. With the assistance of MFP, individuals can regain access to the community and have choices in everyday experiences.

SCI has assisted several individuals with accessing MFP funds and successfully transitioning them from an institution into the community! We are grateful that we could attend and look forward to share testimonials and stories from this event. Stay tuned!
