Due to the rapidly transforming nature of the many issues faced in response to Covid-19, we wanted to make sure we had all the latest information for you as you start your week. As I write this Sunday evening, much of the information we provided in the Friday 5 is already outdated. While it is even impossible to capture all that has gone on in the past few days, we wanted to make sure you all had the important updates regarding state executive actions, day service planning, ICF guidance, and our initial analysis of Federal Initiatives including Families First Coronavirus Response Act (HR 6201).

In additional to this member update, we will be sending out information about an additional member call we will be hosting at 4pm Monday March 16th (this afternoon by the time you read this). On the call, we will be able to go into much greater detail on the information contained in the newsletter, as well as a variety of projects we are working on with system partners to support providers and maintain services for people with disabilities in Ohio. Look out for the calendar invite with call details this morning.

We are incredibly grateful to all of you as members and we hope to be as proactive and responsive to the challenges we know will be faced in the weeks and months ahead. Please continue to reach out to us with any questions, concerns and feedback you have, as well as the strategies and initiatives you have begun to implement. 

Thank you all so much - stay healthy and safe, talk to you all at 4pm today-

Sincerely,

Scott
