5,468 real Kansans are currently waiting for I/DD waiver services.

In just two days, InterHab collected current waiting-list information directly from all 27 Kansas CDDOs, representing all 105 counties.

CDDOs (Community Developmental Disability Organizations) work directly with individuals and families in their communities and maintain current information on the people waiting for services.

These aren't simply names on a statewide spreadsheet. They are real Kansans who have gone through the I/DD eligibility process and are waiting for access to services.

Accurate data matters. So do the people behind the numbers.
