COVID-19 & PWD The Problem: The care network for people with disabilities is vast but fragmented with no central connection to people with disabilities. There was a fear that many might fall through the cracks as services shut down. The Solution: Centers for Independent Living have collaborated with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged and County Transportation Carriers. Paratransit customers have been identified and the CILs are contacting them to do well checks and connect them to needed resources.
