This report by the Kaiser Family Foundation examines Ohio's Money Follows the Person (MFP) Demonstration Program. The authors interviewed key management staff to describe the main characteristics of the program and to identify challenges that the program experienced when it was first implemented.  

From the report:

Ohio was one of 17 states to receive federal funding for the Money Follows the Person (MFP) rebalancing demonstration in January 2007. The state was awarded up to $100 million in enhanced federal matching funds in order to transition roughly 2,200 seniors and people with disabilities from institutions to home and community-based settings and to help Ohio balance its long-term services and support system.1 Prior to establishing a MFP demonstration Ohio had several Real Choice Systems Change grants in place that were geared toward transitioning people out of institutional settings, yet these programs were often targeted to specific populations, i.e. the elderly, individuals with developmental disabilities, or those with mental health issues. According to state officials, MFP marked the first opportunity to connect the dots and look at the long-term care system as a whole, across disabilities.
