THE COUNCIL ON QUALITY AND LEADERSHIP: Supporting People with IDD to Transition to the Community
Community transition services help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) with their move from either an institution to a community setting, or a congregate community setting to an individual community setting. These services can be used to help people with IDD pay for necessary items to set up a basic household, such as securing leases, paying for moving expenses, paying for furniture or kitchen supplies, and utility deposits. The aim of this study was to examine how states provided community transition services in Medicaid HCBS for people with IDD.
