Community supported homes are usually funded by a Medicaid HCBS waiver, and each state decides eligibility through an assessment. Contact your state Medicaid agency or developmental-disability agency to begin, or ask a hospital discharge planner or care manager to start it for you.

Many state waivers have waitlists, sometimes long ones. Get on the list as early as possible, keep documentation current, and ask your care manager about interim supports. The waiver-by-state reference names the agency to contact in each of our states.
Your local ADRC / Area Agency on Aging (Eldercare Locator 800-677-1116) offers free options counseling. A Medicaid care manager coordinates the assessment, waiver, and placement.
