The Arc of Delaware greatly appreciates the Crestlea Foundation award of $20,000 in support of the Case Management project within our Outreach program.

Although many agencies provide some level of case management, none of them meet all the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The Arc of Delaware strives to fill in some of those gaps with one-on-one help in finding solutions, such as:

• Providing information and referral for needed services
• Appealing on behalf of an individual if needed services are denied
• Identifying funding to retain housing and utilities
• Identifying funding to defray medical and dental costs not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance

We know that ongoing support is the key to success in the community, and The Arc of Delaware is committed to continued assistance as an individual’s needs change. This generous grant from Crestlea will be used to expand our outreach throughout the state, enabling greater self-sufficiency for more people with IDD while encouraging their growth and success.
