CDHH’s Budget

Study of States (states with populations between 1 – 2.6 mil.) Facts Advocacy is permitted in all states. All states appropriate funding for specialized deaf-hh services. Idaho, New Hampshire, and Hawaii’s agencies/programs for the deaf-hh have the lowest annual budgets, employees, and spending per capita.

Study of States Facts Continued… The two states most comparable in population to Idaho are Nebraska and Maine. Their state agencies for the deaf-hh receive four and a half times more annual funding than Idaho’s agency. New Mexico’s population is only one-third greater than Idaho’s, but its agency for the deaf-hh receives 30 times more annual funding. Utah’s population is less than twice as large as Idaho’s, but its agency for the deaf-hh has 46 times more employees.
