Ms. Palmer discusses the iBudget in terms of cost containment (translation: lots of folks are having their budgets cut); the wait list (since adequate funding not available to fund folks already on the waiver without running at a deficit), providing a comprehensive list of community resources; criteria for folks are getting on the waiver via the crisis tool, and other topics.
