Could the state at least fund the residential settings? It's not enough of a challenge to be mentally ill and/or developmentally disabled, now the state will turn it's head and allow these folks to end up homeless? Southeastern wants the providers to look at who actually needs what services, It's Southeastern's job to approve these services, where have they been? Providers don't want to cut services, but will have to close their doors if they provide services for free. It is unreasonable and disingenuous for Southeastern to expect providers to pay staff, housing costs, etc, with no or little funding. It can't be done.
