Wait Is Ending For Nebraskans With Disabilities

LINCOLN, Neb. — Years of waiting for services are coming to an end for more than 800 Nebraskans with developmental disabilities.
State officials said Wednesday that a $15 million increase in state funding for community-based services will allow 833 people to get off the waiting list.
The first group included people who had been on the state’s waiting list since May 2004. The second round picked up people who had been on the list since December 2006.
