The Disability Services, and Aging and Adult Services divisions
worked with the Licensing Division to develop a policy that clarifies:
- When a setting is considered a person's own home
and, thus, does not require a residential program license
- When a setting is not considered a person’s own
home and, thus, requires a residential program license.
This policy applies to the Alternative Care program and all
home and community-based services (HCBS) waiver programs:
- Brain Injury (BI)
- Community Alternative Care (CAC)
- Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI)
- Developmental Disabilities (DD)
- Elderly Waiver (EW).
For the complete policy, review CBSM - Requirements for a person's own home. We will develop additional guidance to clarify when two or more people who
receive services live together.
30-day public comment period
We want your feedback on how this new policy works for you,
and how we can improve the policy going forward.
Please email your comments to DSD.PublicComments@state.mn.us
no later than 4 p.m. Central Standard Time Monday, May 2, 2016.
We also will accept comments by mail. Mail written comments
