Severe shortage of service providers in rural regions
Definition
Community Rehabilitation Providers (CRPs) that deliver supported employment and vocational services show critical geographic shortages, particularly in rural areas. This forces VR counselors to either travel excessive distances to serve clients or refer clients to distant providers, increasing service delays and reducing placement success rates. Shortage of regional providers creates bottlenecks in service delivery capacity and prevents VR agencies from fulfilling their mission to serve all eligible individuals. Small VR agencies in underserved regions struggle to locate qualified vendors for job coaching, work-site training, and other essential services.
