Common questions
Can Mai Heaven take a referral in Tucson today?

Who does Mai Heaven serve?
Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, people stabilizing from a behavioral-health crisis, veterans, and young people aging out of foster care — the referrals that are hardest to place.

Use our de-identified referral form — no client name or PHI up front. We add the person to the list and follow up through a secure channel as homes open.

Primarily Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS) waivers — locally, AZ ALTCS-DDD — group homes / residential habilitation. Arizona AHCCCS / DES-DDD administers eligibility and placement.
