Crossroads Community Services Board delivered a program report to the Nottoway County Board of Supervisors and asked for assistance with a state funding waiver.
Dr. Melba Moore, executive director, and Pam Wallace, director of developmental services, told supervisors they serve about 350 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across a seven‑county catchment. Wallace outlined three program goals for the fiscal year: a 75% staff retention target for the year (measured from July 1 to June 30), a plan to increase group-home census by three residents and to add one person at each of three day‑support programs, and a push to bill 100% of provided services by ensuring Medicaid service authorizations are in place.
On capacity, Wallace said Crossroads operates six group homes (capacity 30) and currently has 25 residents — "five empty beds as of tonight." She said Crossroads runs three day‑support programs (Lunenburg, Charlotte, Cumberland) and provides transportation for Nottoway residents to the Bush River campus.
Board members then pressed Crossroads on funding projections. Staff explained DBHDS allocations are not finalized until the state notifies agencies each year; budgets use prior‑year amounts as the basis and increases commonly fall in the 2–5% range. Because the timing and amount are "fluid," Crossroads asked the county to provide a letter on county letterhead stating it cannot meet the 10% local match so Crossroads can include that documentation in a waiver request to the state for FY26. The board and Crossroads staff agreed to prepare and submit such a letter.
No formal funding commitment was made at the meeting; supervisors asked for the letter and follow‑up details.
