Peter,
If you haven't already, you might want to get some information about a
conference taking place in Seattle, Washington this July. The conference
title is "Funding, Freedom and Citizenship: the First International
Conference on Self-Determination and Individualized Funding". Their web
site is: http://members.home.net/directfunding/

Subject: Funding models
> I am interested in hearing from list members about where I can obtain
> information about Government funding strategies/approaches associated with
> the provision of support to people with disabilities.
>
> In Queeensland (Australia) funding is provided through approved agencies
and
> is currently capped at a maximum of 65 hours per person. I am interested
to
> know:
>
> (1) If there are strategies where funding is provided directly to the
person
> rather than through a support agency.
>
> (2) Whether similar caps as the one mentioned above apply in other funding
> approaches.
>
> (3) Whether the funds provided are tied to a specific individual or
whether
> they are provided to organisations to distribute as they see fit.
>
> (4) If there are useful references that debate the pros and cons of
various
> funding strategies.
