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