Summary

The division said it will make a public innovations wait‑list dashboard on Dec. 2 with statewide and LME views including demographic details; speakers highlighted autism as the number‑one diagnosis on the wait list and said the tool will inform housing and outreach.

Kelly Crosby said the division’s innovations wait‑list dashboard will be posted publicly on Dec. 2 and will provide statewide and Local Management Entity (LME) views showing gender, race, age, diagnosis and county breakdowns.

She highlighted a central finding from existing data: “the number 1 diagnosis statewide for individuals on the wait list is autism,” and urged stakeholders to use the dashboard to assess under‑represented counties and communities and to plan housing and service investments.

Crosby said the dashboard is intended both for public transparency and planning, and that the division will continue to add data elements and perform active outreach to people on the wait list to ascertain needs and connect them to services.
