Figures represent full-time equivalents (FTEs) paid from budgeted funds, and exclude those paid from capital, federal grants and trust funds. FY2010 FTE figures are preliminary and may not represent actual levels.

FY10 employee levels for the Office of Disability and Community Services reflect two major components 1) the shift of 45 employees to the Secretariat level, consistent with the consolidation of Information Technology spending; and 2) reductions taken in fiscal year 2010, including re-structuring several facility-based programs and reorganizing case management services within several EOHHS agencies. Employee levels will need to be reevaluated as plans to reorganize services evolve.
