Workplace Sustainability Incentive Program

The 2024 Workplace Sustainability Incentive Program (WSIP) is an initiative by the Lucas County Board of Developmental Disabilities to help providers with the increasing costs of attracting, training and retaining nurses and direct service professionals. The WSIP program is open to active Lucas County agency providers certified in the Ohio Department of Disabilities waiver program. There are 4 main categories for reimbursement: 1. DSP New Hire Training; 2. DSP Longevity Add-On; 3. Student Work Incentive; 4. Background Check Reimbursement.

Frequently Asked Questions about the 2024 WSIP program

Download and submit the following forms every month to the Board until Dec. 31, 2024. Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis and will expire once $250,000 have been dispersed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call 419-380-5167 or e-mail DSPApplicants@lucasdd.org.

How to Become a Certified Department of Developmental Disabilities Waiver Provider

Providers are the true foundation of the state and county’s developmental disabilities system. A provider can be a person, business or organization that provides services to people with disabilities.

Anyone interested in certification as a provider of waiver services for individuals with developmental disabilities in Lucas County can contact the Lucas County Board’s Provider Supports unit directly at 419-381-5300 for information on prerequisites and the application process through the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD). Provider support staff is available to consult and field your questions and discuss training options offered by the Board.

You are also encouraged to visit the DODD website for additional information and rules for providers of service prior to application as there is much to know before application.
