LAND will lead a groundbreaking initiative to develop and carry out a coordinated approach to positively impact the Medicaid Innovations Waiver waiting list in North Carolina.
Funded by the North Carolina Council on Developmental Disabilities, Meet the Need NC is a project of the Leadership Alliance for Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LAND) program of Mental Health Transformation Alliance (MHTA). For year 1 of the initiative, a 30+ person Advisory Council was established, bringing together agency leaders, family advocates, individuals with I/DD, research teams, and community organizations to establish a common agenda for the four-year grant. The unified focus of Meet the Need NC is to impact systemic change for meeting the service and support needs of the I/DD Community in North Carolina.
