Individuals often face challenges, making decisions based on incomplete or inaccurate information about their options. BECs help low-income adults 65+ and younger adults with disabilities to crucial resources such as health care, food, and more. This session will explore how a No Wrong Door approach creates efficiencies across a state/local network to empower individuals to make informed decisions, exercising control over their financial resources and achieving personal goals. Hear from the Administration for Community Living, the No Wrong Door Resource Center and directly from the Milwaukee Aging and Disability Resource Center which is also a BEC about how they participate in Wisconsin’s No Wrong Door.
- Learning Objective 1: Explain how a No Wrong Door approach transforms access to community services and supports by creating efficiencies across a state/local network.
- Learning Objective 2: Detail why BECs should work within the No Wrong Door framework to empower low-income adults and younger adults with disabilities to overcome challenges posed by incomplete information.
- Learning Objective 3: Analyze the practical participation of an organization, such as the Milwaukee Aging and Disability Resource Center, to illustrate how a BEC integrates into a state’s No Wrong Door system to help individuals achieve personal goals and exercise control over their financial resources. June’s technical assistance call is a peer learning opportunity. After their presentation, our presenters will facilitate breakout room discussions on how to practically apply the No Wrong Door approach to your work. Groups will be organized by regions (East, Midwest, & West). To learn more about No Wrong Door services in your state, you can click here.
