What Is It?
Assisted Living Residence

Supportive Housing: Services that help individuals find and maintain stable housing.
-
Transportation Services: Assistance with travel to medical appointments, work, or community activities.
-
Case Management: Coordination of services and support to meet individual needs.
Eligibility and Funding:

HCBS programs often target specific populations, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those with mental health needs.
-
Funding sources may include Medicaid, state programs, and private insurance, with specific eligibility criteria varying by state.
Regulatory Framework:

HCBS programs are governed by federal and state regulations, ensuring quality and access to services.
