Innovative Employment Opportunity grant program. This opportunity was established to provide support and resources to the creation or expansion of business ventures that integrate individuals with intellectual disability into their communities through meaningful employment. This grant program is intended to support innovative business ideas that will increase meaningful employment for people with intellectual disability. Nationally, individuals with developmental disabilities are disproportionately unemployed, underemployed, and living in poverty. DDS, an Employment First Agency, realizes that meaningful employment can be a cornerstone of any individual’s successful participation in their community. The Innovative Employment Opportunity increases opportunities for people with disabilities to become self-employed or to engage with entrepreneurs in employment opportunities, thereby increasing their economic self-sufficiency.
