To the Honorable, the Legislature:
The attached report is submitted to the Legislature pursuant to s.
46.27 (11g) and s.
46.277 (5m) of the Wisconsin statutes which require the Department of Health Services to submit an annual report for the Community Options Program (COP) and the Home and Community-Based Waivers (COP-W/CIP II). The attached report describes the persons served, program expenditures, and services delivered through the COP, COP-Waiver and CIP II programs in calendar year 2008.

With the Department's oversight, county agencies are able to ensure that a comprehensive and individualized care plan is provided, while maintaining program flexibility and integrity, and maximizing federal matching funds.
Sincerely,
Karen E. Timberlake
