Explained to that because they applied as an Independent Unaffiliated that they must provide statewide services and their approval was based on the assumption that they did. Further explained that their location would not appear in any brochures, since they were not statewide and were also not affiliated with a local United Way. Where there is not a local PACE affiliated with the United Way, the administrative offices in Jacksonville that do provide statewide services will be listed, so there will be a listing for PACE in all brochures, either under the United Ways or Independent Unaffililated)
