(2)Many persons with disabilities lack financial resources and must rely upon the government to provide services and support; and
(3)It is in the best interest of the state and is necessary and desirable for the public health, safety, and welfare to encourage, enhance and foster the ability of individuals with disabilities who reside in Missouri or who reside in one of the eight states adjacent to Missouri, and in the best interests of their families and friends to supplement, but not replace, the services and support provided by state government and other governmental programs.
