A Methodology to Determine Base Funding for Oregon Centers for Independent Living
AGENDA Our Common IL Core Values History - Past Methodologies for Determining CIL Base Funding Methodology for Determining Base CIL Funding Conclusion/Discussion
Our Common IL Core Values We know our role in the global IL movement and we have faith in our own voices Together we define and advance our IL movement. This is our movement, our history, our struggle, our global family with disabilities being institutionalized, experiencing rights infractions, experiencing homelessness, being abused, living in poverty, and dying. We believe in our abilities and rights as PWDs to exercise control over our lives. We are valuable! We will speak up! We will be heard! We will make change happen! We will not quit!
Oregon CILs & SILC Collaboration 2014-2017 WIOA prompts 17 listening sessions for SPIL Development AOCIL & SILC Chairs Shared Role in Developing SPIL CIL Directors on SPIL Committee , meets 4-6 times a year AOCIL Systems Advocacy Contracts and funding follows ODOT Federal Lawsuit, 15 year settlement ADRC Including PWD in the No Wrong Door/Medicaid Match System
History Past Oregon Methodologies for Determining CIL Base Funding When you have nothing you have nothing to lose.
We MUST advance the Independent Living Movement
Why a New Funding Formula Is Needed (for Oregon & The Nation) Funding doesn t follow the person (not population based) Limited funding leaves CIL Staff (PWD) in poverty without benefits, retirement, competitive living wages FF develops statewide compensation standards, population based allocation of new funding opportunities Federal, State, APD, etc. CILs advocate to their boards a common standard for livable wages, service goals then developed based on reasonable costs
Steps for Methodology Step 1: Determine PWD Population in Oregon and CIL Service Areas Step 2: Determine Target % of Population To Be Served Step 3: Determine Target Ratio of CIL Direct/Systems Advocacy/Other Step 4: Determine Hours of Direct Service Required Per Consumer
Steps for Methodology Step 5: Determine Number of Employees Required for Each CIL Step 6: Apply Livable Wages for CIL Staff to Determine Cost of Direct Service Step 7: Calculate Total Required CIL Funding to Support Service Target Step 8: Determine SPIL Section 3: Design for Statewide Network of Centers (including Expansion into Unserved Areas) using Base CIL Funding Levels
STEPS 1-3 STEP ONE: Population PWD (noninstitutionalized) - Oregon Population PWD - CIL Service Areas (73%) Population PWD Unserved or Under-served Areas 511,280 373,632 137,648 STEP TWO: Determine Target Population % To Be Served 5% = 25,564 STEP THREE: Determine Target Ratio of CIL Direct Service/Systems Advocacy/Other 55/25/20 = 1144 hours/520 hours/416 hours = 2080 (FTE)
STEPS 4 - 6 STEP FOUR: Determine Hours of Direct Service Required Per Consumer. Urban/Rural Rural - Dispersed (Eastern Oregon) 10-15 hours STEP FIVE: 5-9 hours Determine Number of Employees Required for Each CIL using 55% Direct Service STEP SIX Apply Livable Wages to Step 5 (MIT Livable Wage Oregon: $52,629) to determine cost of Direct Service staff. (http://livingwage.mit.edu)
STEP FIVE # of Direct Service Staff Required Target % of PWD PWD at each CIL X 5% Target X 9 or 15 (hrs/consumer) /1144 (55/25/20 model) 5.17% (26,465) 5.47% (28,001) 9.01% (46,121) 36.25% (185,562) 10.06% (51,497) 2.56% (13,105) 4.47% (22,881) 27.0% (137,648) Centers for Independent Living Required FTE (Rounded) 10 18 18 73 20 5 9 54 ABILITREE EOCIL HASL ILR LILA SPOKES UVDN Under-served Areas
STEP SIX Total Cost of Direct Service x Livable Wage ($52,629) = Cost of Direct Service CIL Required FTE ABILITREE EOCIL HASL ILR LILA SPOKES UVDN UNSERVED AREAS TOTAL 10 18 18 73 20 5 9 54 207 $526,290 $947,322 $947,322 $3,841,917 $1,052,580 $263,145 $473,661 $2,841,966 $10,894,203
STEPS 7 - 8 STEP SEVEN: Calculate Total Required CIL Funding to Support Service Target. STEP EIGHT: Determine SPIL Section 3: Design for Statewide Network of Centers (including Expansion into Under-served Areas), using Base CIL Funding Levels.
STEP SEVEN Total Base CIL Funding Abilitree Example: Wages Director = $156,270; Assistant Director = $111,114 Office Support = $33,821; 10 X FTE of $52,629 = $526,290 Total Wages = $827,495 Indirect Costs (40% of wages) = 330,998 Total Costs = $1,158,493 FTE Total Wages Indirect Total Cost $947,322 1,248,527 499,411 1,747,938 $947,322 1,248,527 499,411 1,747,938 $3,841,917 4,143,122 1,657,249 5,800,371 $1,052,580 1,353,785 541,514 1,895,299 $263,145 564,350 225,740 790,090 $473,661 774,866 309,946 1,084,812 $2,841,966 NA NA EOCIL HASL ILR LILA SPOKES UVDN Under-Served Areas Total CIL Base Funding $14,224,941
DIFFERENCE Current Vs. Required Funding Current Base Funding (Part B ,C and State General Funds) Abilitree $250,000 EOCIL $250,000 HASL $250,000 ILR $439,413 LILA $250,000 SPOKES $250,000 UVDN $250,000 Total $1,939,413 CIL Required Base Funding Funding Advocacy $1,158,493 $1,747,938 $1,747,938 $5,800,371 $1,895,299 $790,090 $1,084,812 $14,224,941 $908,493 $1,497,938 $1,497,938 $5,360,958 $1,645,299 $540,090 $834,812 $12,285,528
STEP EIGHT Expanding into Unserved/Under-served Areas 40,000 2,000 18,000 hours divided by 1,144 (55%)* 16 FTE @ $52,629.00 = $842,064 $156,273 $111,114 $33,830 $1,143,281 $457,312 PWD Population ex. of Marion Co. (8%) PWD to be Served Using 5% Target 9 hours/Consumer and 55/25/20 Ratio Applying Livable Wage to D.S. Staff Director Assistant Director Office Support Total Wages 40% Indirect Costs Total Required for Expansion into Marion County $1,600,593
Recommendations BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT! Find ways to collaborate between CIL s & SILC Review the Oregon formula, see how it will apply for your state Get it in your SPIL (either an amendment or next SPIL cycle). Share your state s developed formula with NCIL and APRIL. Live by Core IL Principles. Be ready to advocate for systems change.
If we are inclusive, open-minded, cohesive, transparent, never stop moving forward, and do not give up, we will change the world
