Section 8.314.7.9 - SUPPORTS WAIVER HOME AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES

A. New Mexico's supports waiver is designed to provide temporary assistance to those on the developmental disabilities (DD) waiver wait list. It is intended to provide support services to eligible recipients to enable work toward self-determination, independence, productivity, integration, and inclusion in all facets of community life across the lifespan. The services provided are intended to build on each eligible recipient's current support structures through person-centered planning to work toward individually defined life outcomes, focusing on developing the eligible recipient's abilities for self-determination, community living and participation, and economic self-sufficiency. An eligible recipient has a choice of receiving services through the agency-based service delivery model or the participant directed service delivery model.

B. The program is operated by the New Mexico department of health developmental disabilities supports division (DOH/DDSD), at the direction of the New Mexico human services department medical assistance division (HSD/MAD).
