Gov. Rick Scott has approved an increase in funding for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities to help about 750 people who are on the the waiting list for the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waiver.
There are about 22,000 people on the waiting list.
The funding will “help families by providing personal care assistance, transportation, adult day training and other needed services to improve their quality life and find job opportunities,” Scott said in a news release.
