SUMMARY:Home & Community-Based Services Provider Compliance Funding Webinar for Fiscal Year 2021-2022
DESCRIPTION:In January 2014, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued final regulations, or rules, for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS).  The rules require that HCBS programs funded through Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California) provide individuals with disabilities full access to the benefits of community living and offer services and supports in settings that are integrated in the community.  This could include opportunities to seek employment in competitive and integrated settings, control personal resources, and engage in the community to the same degree as individuals who do not receive regional center services.  The HCBS rules focus on the nature and quality of individuals’ experiences and not just the settings where the services are delivered.\nIn recognition that some service providers need to take steps towards modifying their services to come into compliance with the HCBS rules by March 2023, the 2021 enacted budget contains $15 million to fund necessary changes. Enclosed is the Department of Developmental Services’ (Department) Fiscal Year 2021-22 HCBS Provider Compliance Funding Guidelines for service providers who wish to apply for funding.  The Department will post a letter, Guidelines, and application on its website.\nService Providers eligible to apply:\n\n\n\nService Type\nService Code\nService Code Description\n\n\nResidential\n096\nGeriatric Facility (Residential Care Facility for the Elderly)\n\n\nResidential\n113\nDSS Licensed Specialized Residential Facility (Adult Residential Facilities for Persons with Special Health Care Needs)\n\n\nResidential\n904\nFamily Home Agency (Adult Family Home, Certified Family Home, Family Teaching Home)\n\n\nResidential\n905, 915\nAdult Residential Facility\n\n\nResidential\n910, 920\nChildren’s Residential Facility; Group Home; Foster Family Home; Small Family Home\n\n\nDay Program\n028\nSocialization Training Program\n\n\nDay Program\n055\nCommunity Integration Training Program\n\n\nDay Program\n063\nCommunity Activities Support Services\n\n\nDay Program\n475\nParticipant-Direct Community-Based Training Service for Adults (Community-Based Training Provider)\n\n\nDay Program\n505\nActivity Center\n\n\nDay Program\n510\nAdult Development Center\n\n\nDay Program\n515\nBehavior Management Program\n\n\nDay Program\n855\nAdult Day Care (Adult Day Care Facility)\n\n\nEmployment\n950\nSupported Employment Program-Group Services\n\n\nEmployment\n954\nWork Activity Program\n\n\n\n \nIn addition the Department will hold two, one-hour webinars to review the funding application process and answer questions.  The webinars will be held on Wednesday, October 6, 2021, from 1:00p.m. –2:00 p.m. and Friday, October 8, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. –12:00 p.m. To register for any of the above webinars, follow the instructions found at https://www.dds.ca.gov/initiatives/cms-hcbs-regulations/hcbs-compliance-funding/.\nFor more information and application submissions contact Leslie Reynaga, HCBS Program Evaluator at LReynaga@kernrc.org ( mailto:LReynaga@kernrc.org ) or visit Kern Regional Center’s website\nHCBSFundingFY21_22_AttachmentC\nHCBSFundingFY21_22_BudgetTemplate\nHCBS_Funding_Guidelines_FY_21_22\n
