Today we have posted a form designed to solicit ideas as to how the new stimulus money might be used to provide services to people with vision loss in Washington State.  You can access the form at this address http://www.csbps.com/stimulus_form.html or you can email directly to stimulus at csbps.com<mailto:stimulus at csbps.com>.  We'll collect all the ideas we get and share them with all who are interested.  We look forward to hearing from you!  Please feel free to share this website address with anyone that you think might be interested.

Subject: IL Stimulus note and attachment

Hello Again:
Here is some additional information about Stimulus funding in IL. I am attaching the document Lou Oma sent out earlier with additions that reflect stakeholder feedback to date. I have not repeated items, so some of your feedback is reflected in the agency feedback rather than in the stakeholder feedback. These are not meant to be complete ideas at this point.
Projects may be undertaken by DSB directly, outsourced to IL providers, or outsourced to other parties. Obviously this cannot be determined until we have the scope of the projects.
I will update this list again probably on Monday.
Remember that projects must fit into the scope of: improving and expanding IL services; serving additional consumers, especially populations that are unserved or underserved by IL programs in the state; increasing the capacity of IL service providers to provide IL services; and maximizing employment opportunities and economic benefits to individuals with significant disabilities. Also remember that we must establish success measures for these projects.
Feel free to comment on these proposals and to submit additional ideas.
