Program for People with Disabilities
People who are disabled, their families and service providers may
want to attend free information sessions that explain Consumer Directed
Community Supports (CDCS). CDCS allows clients to hire, train and
supervise their own staff and write their own plan.
Sponsored by Hennepin
County’s Human Services and Public Health
Department, the information sessions, “Consumer Directed Community
Supports Overview,” will answer questions such as “How
do I obtain a service?” “How is the CDCS waiver different
from traditional waivers?” “How can I use CDCS?”
To register, call 612-596-6631
or go to www.hennepin.us. Click on “Health, Housing and Social
Services,” “Developmental
Disabilities” and “Contact DD or Register for a DD session,” which
is located in a right-hand box.
