Hamilton County Developmental Disabilities Services

Strategic Plan

2022-2024

The biggest gap I see is the "overlap" of services, specifically for people who have a mental health diagnosis and a developmental diagnosis.

Education Professional

Community Engagement and Equitable Access

Identify opportunities and address common barriers so all people with DD have better access to transportation, housing, medical care, mental health, and inclusive neighborhoods. HCDDS will engage diverse community allies to partner on key initiatives for equitable access and good quality of life for people with DD and other Hamilton County citizens. Direct HCDDS funding to support these community initiatives.
