Overview
If you are interested in becoming a Home-Enabling Supports Provider we are now accepting Request for Services applications. The deadline to apply is January 20th, 2025.
Home-Enabling Supports are available for people who live in non-certified settings and are enrolled in the OPWDD Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver as a sub-component to the Assistive Technology benefit. Home-Enabling Supports help address a person's needs in a way that promotes, maintains, or improves a person's abilities, improves interactions, supports meaningful relationships, and supports their ability to live independently and meaningfully participate in their community. Home Enabling Supports assist a person to be more independent and less reliant on physically present support staff.
Devices or supports received through Home-Enabling Supports may include but are not limited to: Assistive Devices/Technology, Remote Supports, and Health Assessment and Coordination Services (HACS).
Home-Enabling Supports for people with developmental disabilities promote access to opportunities available to everyone else in the community.
Selected not-for-profit agencies will have the ability to purchase Home-Enabling Supports technology on a person’s behalf when a reasonable expectation has been identified that access to the service(s) will increase, maintain, or improve the person’s safety, independence, health outcomes, and/or meaningful participation in the community.
