State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies
RSA provides formula grants to State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) Agencies to administer the State VR Services, State Supported Employment Services, and Independent Living Services for Older Individuals Who Are Blind programs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and four Territories. Specifically, 34 of these States and Territories have one VR agency that serves individuals with all types of disabilities; these are referred to as Combined VR agencies. In addition, 22 States have established two VR agencies: one VR agency that serves individuals who are blind or have visual impairments, referred to as Blind VR agencies, and a separate VR agency that serves individuals with all other types of disabilities, referred to as General VR agencies. This results in a total of 78 VR agencies: 34 Combined VR agencies, 22 General VR agencies, and 22 Blind VR agencies.
Contact information for the 78 VR agencies is available below. Connect with RSA's State Liaisons or State Teams for more information.
