(KAIR)--Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, on Wednesday, announced that the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services has been awarded $4.97 million in grant funding to give Kansans with disabilities more flexibility in where they live and receive services. According to a release from the Governor’s office, Medicaid’s Money Follows the Person program provided the funding to increase the home- and community-based services available to Kansans who want to transition from institutional care to independent living.

Kansas is one of five states and territories to receive the funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

MFP is a five-year cooperative agreement between CMS and the State of Kansas to begin a 16-month planning and implementation period. KDADS will work with stakeholders across the state to develop the program.
