LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE

Mi Via Advisory Committee

The Mi Via Advisory Committee (MVAC) is an Advisory Council on Quality (ACQ) subcommittee that supports the Mi Via Self-Directed Waiver program in the following ways:

  • To reinforce the Mi Via philosophy of self-direction.
  • To engage “on the ground floor” in providing input and recommendations during policy considerations.
  • To assist the State Mi Via Waiver Program with the on-going evaluation and improvement of the Mi Via program.
  • To help identify ways to simplify the Mi Via processes.
