BLIND, Inc. will take a two-prong approach to comprehensive health recovery from COVID-19 and its future CCC engagement, being specifically focused on: one, meeting emerging workforce needs through expanding its Career Development programming to blind and disabled persons. And two, expand its Youth Services programming with a focus on Extended School Year (ESY) training and addressing the Expanded Core Curriculum (ECC) to blind children and youth. BLIND, Inc. will run up to two summer programs annually which will focus on learning and applying the ECC in the environment. To narrow the education gap between peers, BLIND, Inc. will hold group seminars and one-on-one classes for youth needing additional ESY services, working with students whose IEP goals are not being met due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Contractor had to temporarily suspend all of its programs as of January 1, 2024 due to its current financial and organizational circumstances, primarily due to significant and expensive renovations needed to its office, which is a historic building. Contractor was seeking a new location at the time of suspending services, but was not able to fulfill its CCC work, or its other programs, due to this circumstance. Besides the decision to suspend services, BLIND, Inc. was an excellent, diligent, and high performing contractor. When its circumstances with its location improve, it would be a strong vendor for MDH again.
