Consumer-Directed Community Supports (CDCS) is a unique service option that gives persons more flexibility and responsibility for directing their services and supports, including hiring and managing direct care staff. CDCS may include services, support and/or items currently available through the MA waivers, as well as additional allowable services that provide needed support to persons.
If you are interested in Consumer Directed Community Support (CDCS), please contact your current case manager. People who would like to use CDCS services must be currently open to a waiver or the Alternative Care program and must complete a file clearance process.
