Advancing independence and community integration for all: Supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities through high ­quality home and community­-based services

The President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PCPID) has prioritized high-quality home and community-based services (HCBS) for their report to the president with a focus on four key areas: direct support professionals, employment, community living, and federal support. To adequately meet the growing demand for HCBS, the report suggests that HHS should offer guidance and technical assistance to support individuals in self-directing their care in Medicaid HCBS programs as part of the workforce solutions.
