Project E3: State VR Agencies Work to Improve Participation & Employment in Underserved Communities.

Learn how Project E3’s four phases of intensive technical assistance have helped improve VR participation and employment outcomes for traditionally underserved people with disabilities in twelve different states.

The project used evidence-based or promising strategies such as Integrated Resource Teams, Community-Based Participatory Research, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Informed Care, Disability and Poverty, and Financial Empowerment to help individuals with disabilities in economically-disadvantaged communities.

In this video, you will hear from state agency and community-based partners from California, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia.

They'll share their insights into innovative community outreach techniques, needs assessments, capacity-building, and systems change initiatives.
