Sec.  376.30  What priorities are considered for support by the Secretary under this part?


    The Secretary may select annually in a notice published in the 
Federal Register, one or more of the following priority areas for 
funding under this program:
    (a) Community-based transitional rehabilitation service delivery. 
This priority supports projects that demonstrate exemplary models for 
developing and establishing community-based transitional rehabilitation 
service programs that result directly in competitive or supported 
employment for youths with disabilities within the labor force.
    (b) Statewide transitional rehabilitation service delivery. This 
priority supports projects that demonstrate effective Statewide 
approaches to transitional rehabilitation service delivery for youths 
with disabilities and demonstrate cooperative efforts between State 
agencies responsible for service to youths with disabilities including 
but not limited to, special education, vocational rehabilitation, and 
day services for adults with developmental disabilities.
    (c) Transitional rehabilitation services for youths with 
disabilities who have special needs. This priority supports projects 
that demonstrate transitional rehabilitation service programs focused on 
meeting the special job training and placement needs of one or more 
groups of individuals with physical or mental disabilities which present 
unusual and difficult rehabilitation problems including, but not limited 
to, blindness, cerebral palsy, deafness, epilepsy, mental illness, 
mental retardation, and learning disability.
    (d) Transitional rehabilitation services for institutionalized 
persons. This priority supports projects that demonstrate effective ways 
to assist youths and young adults who are institutionalized, including 
those residing in skilled nursing or intermediate care facilities, to 
return to community living and competitive or supported employment.
    (e) Transitional rehabilitation services for unemployed youths with 
disabilities. This priority supports projects that demonstrate ways to 
train and place in competitive or supported employment youths with 
disabilities who were unable to participate in special education 
programs or who recently graduated from those programs but have been 
unable to secure and maintain employment.
    (f) Home-based transitional rehabilitation services. This priority 
supports projects that demonstrate ways in which youths with 
disabilities, including those residing in rural areas, who because of 
the severity of their disabilities are precluded from employment in the 
community, could be gainfully employed in home settings.
