DMR is no currently willing to subunit their portion of the application because DHDD has not approved the selected model for Martha's Vineyard; therefore, Ms. Boro is reluctant to commit DMR to a program that DHDD may not approve. Telephone conversation with Alan Champagne from DHCD indicates that DHDD cannot approve/reject and application they have not seen and encouraged us to proceed with the application submission. The situation on Martha's Vineyard may be entirely different from the reed here to Mashpee. Mrs. Mills will attempt to contact the appropriate agency individual in an attempt to get this application moving.
