Home and Community Based Services (HCBS)
All individuals and qualified vendors are required to have an HCBS certificate in order to contract with DDD. HCBS Certification ensures that all individuals providing direct care have met qualifications for assisting individuals with developmental Disabilities. The Office of Licensing, Certification and Regulation (OLCR) is responsible for issuing HCBS certificates.

Services include room and board, habilitation, providing appropriate personal care and supervision. Child Developmental Homes serve individuals under the age of 18.
