eQuality bills Hennepin County, another lead agency, Medical Assistance, or your Fiscal Support Entity directly, depending on your funding source. Your County Case Manager will authorize the service.

How will I get to and from work?

eQuality utilizes Metro Mobility to transport associates to and from work. Transportation during the program day, for fieldtrips, etc. is provided by agency vehicles. eQuality pays for all transportation-related costs. eQuality staff will assist you to facilitate your own transportation through Metro Mobility and/or other public transportation as applicable. Being able to use public transportation increase your access to the community.

Where can I find eQuality’s facility?

You can’t! eQuality is based entirely in the community. All eQuality activities take place in community locations.

What if I wish to work part-time?

Many eQuality program associates choose to work part-time. These individuals may also choose to participate in recreational and/or educational activities. These activities include health and wellness, fieldtrips, environmental education, theater/acting, arts and music therapy, etc.

What if I would like to work independently in the community?

eQuality Job Coordinators work with individuals to seek independent jobs. They work to develop resumes, improve interviewing skills, complete applications, and develop job-hunting strategies. After an individual succeeds in getting a job, the Job Coordinator assists with orientation, training, and ongoing support.
