The federal government has approved a plan to use COVID relief funds to temporarily enroll up to 2,000 Tennesseans with disabilities into a state program that provides home and community-based services, the Tennessean reports. The Employment and Community First CHOICES offers individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities a range of services to help them live independently, access transportation and benefit from job training and day programs. There are currently about 2,500 individuals enrolled in the program, with an additional 5,000 on a waiting list.
