Hats off to Will Simons of Association Reserves for his article in the Florida Community Association Journal busting some of the most enduring myths about reserve funding. The one we’ve observed most often: 🚫Myth: Funding reserves is for future projects. ➡️Reality: Though the projects may be executed in the future, today’s reserve contributions are offsetting deterioration as it occurs. Another Will mentions: 🚫Myth: Pooled reserves lead to abuse. ➡️Reality: Cases of wasteful spending are rare, and there are ways to ensure that boards understand how to make smart decisions about repairs and upgrades. The article also includes a useful breakdown of new Florida legislation regarding associations’ duties where reserve funding is concerned.

Share your views: Covenant to improve the relationship between civil society and government. The National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO) are working closely with national government and ACEVO (the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations) to develop a Civil Society Covenant. The Covenant is a new agreement to improve the relationship between civil society and government. Your views and thoughts are needed on the draft principles – whether you’ve had a positive or negative experience of engaging with local or national government. This is a great opportunity for Cumbrian voices to influence the national Covenant, which can help to remove some of the barriers that often stall local community action. https://lnkd.in/eUHe-bfa

I am very curious, as are many, to see what changes the #state of #Indiana will be making to these #waivers. There are many people watching to see how the state is going to be addressing the severe lack of services. Hopefully there will be positive change. Not just cuts to try and fix the debacle with the aged and disabled waiver making it even harder to receive services for these vulnerable populations and their families. "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members." - Gandhi #fssa #FSW #CIH #AgedAndDisabled #severeautism #profoundautism #COLAS #caregivers #specialneeds #funding #developmentaldisability #respite #vocationalrehab #dayprograms #extensivesupportsneeds #ESN #bureauofdevelopmentaldisabilities #housing #grouphomes #transportation #paysupportstafflivablewage #residentialhousing #bdds #WeAreWatching Autism Society of Indiana Autism Society of America
The state is rewriting Indiana’s Family Supports Waiver and Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver. These waivers provide critical home and community based services. Here is the upcoming virtual meeting with The Arc of Indiana to learn more and share your thoughts. Thursday, August 8 at 6:00pm – Virtual August’s Ask The Arc will serve as a virtual town hall meeting. https://lnkd.in/ebb3PqeQ
