This department implements the following strategic objectives for the 2014 Budget:
Provide advocacy, vision and leadership regarding relevant policies, plans and services to achieve the mission.
Identify new funding sources as State revenue shifts from the Jefferson County DD Program, to maintain quality services for all people with developmental disabilities.
