*Exemplar State Sustainability Planning Teams

In 2014, ARCH, working in collaboration with The Finance Project, selected eight states to receive individualized technical assistance to utilize the Finance Project’s Sustainability Toolkit to develop a comprehensive sustainability plan for their state’s Lifespan Respite activities. The 8 states were: Alabama, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

Each state convened a sustainability planning team and received email and phone consultation as they proceeded step-by-step through the Sustainability Workbook Modules and shared their experiences.
