Additional activities will be designed to add more content to the site.  Web statistics are available below:

 



Section 3.2 Expansion of Network (Catchment Area)

There are 16 counties (Alcona, Alpena, Cheboygan, Crawford, Ionia, Iosco, Lake, Mecosta, Montcalm, Montmorency, Ogemaw, Osceola, Oscoda, Otsego, Presque Isle, and Roscommon) or 4% of Michigan's total population which do not have sufficient population or geographic area to support an individual CIL or satellite.

In order to address statewide coverage, and in support of SPIL Goals (I, II, and V) these 16 counties have been affiliated with adjoining CIL service areas. This has been done with the explicit understanding that the needs and preferences of these 16 counties will be addressed on the basis of the Comprehensive Statewide Needs Assessment to be coordinated by SILC (Goal II, Objective 2) and other consumer/community input. The consistency of these affiliations with community needs and preferences will be reviewed, and the affiliations will be confirmed and/or adjusted as appropriate.

SPIL Section 7 Review:

1. How well are the SPIL Objectives being achieved?
2. How satisfied are the consumers of services provided?
3. How can the State's IL Program be improved or expanded?

   4. Does the SPIL require amendment?

The methodology utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of Michigan’s SPIL involves the following components: 



1.  Creation of semi-annual SPIL status report including service numbers and outcomes from the Michigan Statewide Database system which is inclusive of data from both the CIL Network and BSBP.   This report will be reviewed by the SILC Council "committee of the whole" prior to the November and May SILC Council Business Meetings. The "committee of the whole" meetings will report results for Council ratification and/or amendment. 

a.    This report is considered the semi-annual SPIL status report.  In addition a second report is available which consists of public comment, forums, and other IL related information for council review.

2.  Submission of an annual “State of Independent Living” report.  This report is comprised of the current status of the SPIL and Independent Living in Michigan. 

a.    As of this reports creation, a draft version has been submitted to the executive committee for review. 

3.  Compile annual Statewide Consumer Satisfaction survey by producing a combined satisfaction rate via submitted survey results to the SILC. The Consumer Satisfaction survey rate will be shared with the Council and DSUs, placed into relevant Section 704 and utilized in SILC reports. Target reporting date will be the first Council meeting of the fiscal year (November).

a.    Consumer satisfaction is being compiled and will be available for the November Committee of the whole meeting.

4.  Compilation and submission of the annual Section 704 report to RSA by SILC, BSBP and MRS. It will be completed no later than 90 days from the end of the fiscal year. 

a.    The Part 1 704 report was submitted on time and accepted by RSA

5.  SILC will participate in and receive reports on formal reviews of Michigan's CILs conducted by RSA. The reports will be summarized upon receipt and provided to the next "committee of the whole" meeting.  SILC will also participate, as an invited observer, of any MRS on-site reviews of CILs.

a.    SILC participated as an observer in:

                                                               i.                              DAKC RSA Review (Final Report and Response are attached to this report)

                                                             ii.                              MRS On-Site review of the Ann Arbor CIL (As of this reports creation, a report has not been issued)

6.  Participation in review of MRS grant proposals and annual grant evaluations. Team review of the CIL annual grant applications provides opportunity to consider their consistency with the SPIL goals, objectives, and CIL allocation plan. The MRS grant review team typically includes, by invitation, representation from SILC, BSBP, MCRS, CAP, and any other entities MRS deems appropriate. In addition, all grantees are required to provide statistical, narrative and fiscal reports to MRS and to the SILC including quarterly Netcil Data uploads for creation of the Michigan Statewide Database. 

a.    SILC provided DSU requested data in support of the MRS grant proposal evaluations.

b.   Data from the Statewide Database has also been used in this report

7.  Input derived from various SILC Council work groups on the effectiveness of the SPIL and determination of necessary amendments along with engagement in a continual SPIL development process.

a.    Work Group reports are available.
