Policy Changes
Administrative Reduction
Funding is reduced to reflect a reduction in administrative services. (General Fund - State)
Dan Thompson Account Fund
Increased expenditure authority is provided from the Dan Thompson Developmental Disabilities Community Services Account for approved community project grants to expand the availability of inclusive community activities and increase the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. (Developmental Dis Comm Service Acct - State)
Lake Burien Funding Adjustment
Funding is provided to maintain operation of the Lake Burien Transitional Care Facility while the facility completes the final steps to obtain the Medicaid certification required to claim federal matching funds. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Local CRC Oregon, General Fund - State, other funds)
No-Paid Services Staff
Funding is provided to maintain current staffing levels to support clients actively seeking paid services. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Medicaid Federal, General Fund - State, other funds)
Reimagine DSHS
Funds are transferred between programs to align appropriations with the new Department of Social and Health Services organizational structure. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Federal, General Fund - Local, other funds)
SOLA Admin Reduction
Savings are achieved by reducing funding for the State-Operated Living Alternative administrative supports. (General Fund - State)
SOLA Forecast
Funding is provided to maintain the current State-Operated Living Alternative (SOLA) bed capacity of 227 beds. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Medicaid Federal, General Fund - State, other funds)
Transition to Community
Savings are achieved by (1) reducing the expansion of State-Operated Living Alternative beds from nine to three and (2) eliminating additional community transition case management. These increases were funded in the 202527 biennial budget tied to a version of SB 5393 that proposed closing the Rainier State School by the end of the biennium. Chapter 410, Laws of 2025 does not include that closure timeline and these resources are no longer necessary. (General Fund - Cash, General Fund - Local CRC Oregon, General Fund - Medicaid Federal, other funds)
