The residents of Stone County passed the first developmental disability board tax levy in 2016 by an overwhelming majority. Formed by that vote, the Stone County Developmental Disability Board (SCDDB) now provides direct services, as well as funding local nonprofit organizations to provide services on its behalf, to residents of Stone County who have developmental disabilities.
People with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other intellectual and developmental disabilities may be eligible for supports that were not previously available.
Since receiving the first tax levy payment in 2018, SCDDB has provided over $2 million in local agency funding and individual funding. SCDDB has also developed Day Services, Residential Services, and Behavior Support programs during this time, and supports over 200 individuals and their families.
We take our responsibility seriously to build a sustainable organization to serve many future generations of Stone County families, ensuring fiscal responsibility with your tax dollars.
