How you qualify for home and community based services differs among programs. Most programs have functional and financial requirements you must meet. A free assessment must be completed to determine if you meet the functional eligibility requirements of the program that would best assist you to live independently. Certain programs may require medical documentation to support your functional eligibility. This is a Medicaid funded program, financial eligibility for Medicaid funded programs is determined by the Family Support Division (FSD). Income limits may be adjusted annually.
