POLICY ISSUES

Home & Community Based Services

The State Plan for Independent Living was developed with substantial input from members of the Pennsylvania disability community, service providers and advocacy groups. As a result of that input, the following goals were developed in order to improve home and community based service options for Pennsylvanians with disabilities. This goal and the steps outlined below set the framework for a three year period.

HCBS Goal:

The IL Program will promote expansion, flexibility and choice of Home and Community Based Services

Action Steps:

Engage in Money Follows the Person (MFP) activities with the Commonwealth

Participate with the PA Governor’s Office in the development of a successful Governor’s Cabinet on Disability

Analyze waivers that provide HCBS and advise people with disabilities and the Administration regarding improvements

Develop position papers on HCBS issues as they arise for broad distribution

Serve on external committees that influence the outcome of HCBS

The committee wants to hear from you.
-Tell us about a situation for people with disabilities in your area.
