Arlington presents FY27 DD budget: $11.5M program budget and small transportation cut
Summary
Natasha Manoka presented the FY27 developmental services budget: a $11.5 million DD program expense budget, state revenue increases, and a $45,000 cut to transportation (reducing that line to $197,000); staff said current riders would not be impacted.
Natasha Manoka, the new administrative officer in Aging and Disability Services, presented the Department of Human Services FY27 overview and the ADSD and DD program budgets. She said the DH S-wide expense budget is roughly $213 million (a 3% increase), ADSD’s expense is about $30 million (1% decrease), and the developmental services program’s expense budget is $11.5 million. "Our developmental services expense budget... is 11,500,000," Manoka said while reviewing the slides.
Manoka explained the DD transportation line was reduced by $45,000 to $197,000 to align with current spending and a move toward state waiver reimbursement. She said current riders would not be impacted and committed to providing a more disaggregated revenue and expense breakdown on request. Committee members asked for a program-level disaggregation of habilitation and vocational revenues and for clarity about transport options for graduates without waivers; Manoka said she would follow up with detailed spreadsheets and an electronic copy of the presentation.
