Funding Partners

County Boards or Senate Bill (SB) 40 Boards are formed to distribute special tax levies that are passed to benefit people with developmental disabilities. These tax levies, frequently called a "mill" tax, have been used to establish sheltered workshops, residential facilities, or related services for the support, care or employment of persons with developmental disabilities. More than 80 counties in Missouri and St. Louis City currently have this tax in place.

In some areas of the state, the county boards purchase services for residents of the county. Other county board agencies provide services directly and use the funding to establish and pay for those services. Many county board agencies also contract with their local Regional Center to provide various services, including residential supports, day habilitation, personal assistant hours, and job coaching. Some county board agencies also enter into "Cooperative Funding Agreements" with their local Regional Center. This enables the county to pay the state match for the Missouri Division of Mental Retardation & Developmental Disabilities' Home and Community-Based Waiver program.
