How much additional funding is allocated for Early Intervention services in FY 2027?

Of the $15 million of increased appropriations for the Early Intervention program, $5.5 million is for maintenance of the existing program services, about $3.5 million is for provider rate increases, and $6 million is to begin to make systemic improvements in the operating systems to drive greater equity and efficiency. These systemic improvements will benefit families, providers and CFCs and provide the program the much needed upgrade to improve service delivery.
