Manage your end-to-end workflow for Direct Services

SET-Works is a cloud-based system for managing all your

client records, documentation and billing needs. We have extensive

experience managing I/DD agencies in Michigan.

OUR MISSION . . .

The mission of the MCRS is to improve public vocational rehabilitation (VR) services delivered by the Bureau of Services for Blind Persons (BSBP) and Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS).

How do we achieve our Mission?

We begin by establishing a proactive partnership with each VR agency. Our statewide diverse member-ship works simultaneously to achieve their federal mandates through the review and analysis of the BSBP and MRS programs and service system data. This oversight results in the MCRS advising each agency about their strengths and challenges from the perspective of the ‘customer voice’.
