The Family Support Services Program provides individualized supports and services to families who are caring for a family member with developmental disabilities/delays. The Family Support program links families with community resources and provides limited financial resources to meet needs related to the child’s intellectual disability, which are beyond typical child-rearing and daily living expenses. There is a wait list for Family Support, and a Most in Need assessment is required initially for placement on the list, and annually. Family Support funding is limited, and is prioritized for youth through age 18, and for young adults who cannot meet Long Term Care (LTC) Medicaid eligibility criteria.  At age 18, the Supported Living Services (SLS) Waiver may be an option for your family member.  Please click here to learn about this program on our website.
