Frequently Asked Questions

What are integrated community supports?

Integrated Community Supports (ICS) are a 245D licensed service for adults 18+ on the BI, CAC, CAID or DD waivers. Providers provide support (e.g. supervision, cuing, and assistance) and training for adults (18+) in a provider-controlled, multifamily housing building (integrated community supports setting). Providers may deliver up to 24 hours of service support in a day. In a way, Integrated Community Supports (ICS) are similar to other “group home” programs.

What is an integrated community supports setting?

An integrated community supports setting is a multi-family housing building (tri-plex, four plex, apartment building, etc.) where the service provider has direct or indirect control of the person’s living unit and has an approved setting capacity report.A living unit is a self-contained residential living unit with living, sleeping, eating, cooking and bathroom areas. It cannot be shared, unless the recipient chooses to have a roommate. A multifamily housing building will have multiple living units. When a single provider leases or owns more than one living setting located on the same or adjoining property, the lead agency can only authorize services in one of the settings.

Who qualifies for integrated community supports?

All companies with an approved 245D/Waiver/HCBS license can apply for an unlimited number of integrated community supports (“ICS”) locations.Integrated Community Supports (ICS) as a service is available to adults who live in an ICS setting. The provider must either own, operate, or lease the living unit(s) or have direct or indirect financial interest in the property or housing where services are delivered.

ICS is available to adults on the following waivers:

  • Brain Injury (BI)

  • Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI)

  • Community Alternative Care (CAC)

  • Developmental Disabilities (DD)

Integrated Community Supports meets the habilitation requirement for the DD waiver.

  • Less than 25% of the living units in a multi-family housing building that has five or more units

  • 25% or more of the living units in a multi-family housing unit that has five or more units when DHS has approved a site-specific review.
