How is the Council Trying to Expand?

Since the Council was created in 1991, it has diligently strived to obtain more funding for direct services to deaf and hard-of-hearing citizens.  As part of this effort, we recently conducted a study that analyzed the funding and staffing levels of all state agencies for the Deaf/HH with populations between one and 2.6 million.

The goal of the study was to determine how Idaho compares to other states and to find ways in which we can increase services.  We found that Idaho's Council is among the lowest funded and staffed.

These data will be used to request more funding so that we can do a better job of serving you.
