Coordinated Family Support Services Pilot Program

CFS is a new service option specifically designed for adults who are 18 years of age and older who:

• Choose to live in their family home
• Are served by a regional center

CFS provides assistance with the coordination of services and supports that allow adults to continue living in their family home such as:

• Developing skills in the home
• Coordinating & getting services delivered, including help with “generic services”
• Helping people access their community

CFS providers will prepare a service plan designed to help reduce or remove barriers to staying in the family home, address challenges and meet goals. Services will be provided in a manner that respects the language & culture of individuals and their families, and services will be tailored, individualized, and flexible to meet the changing needs and preferences of individuals.
