Ohio to End CAFS Program for Disabled Citizens
Columbus plans to end the CAFS program, started in 1992 and serving 130,000 Ohioans with developmental disabilities, on June 30 due to not meeting federal Medicaid rules. Officials promise a replacement, but schools and providers doubt the commitment while advocates push to preserve funding for therapies and services.
