Connecting the Dots: Housing Services for Independent Living

This session will describe various provisions in PA's Home & Community Based Service Waivers that need to be considered in developing independent living models such as the 30 hour rule under the Consolidated waiver, the 50 hour rule under the Autism waiver and community integration under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) waiver. The presenters will also describe creative approaches to coordinating home management and supportive services including micro-boards, mini- boards, and co-ops and provide information on actual examples of these models.
