SILAP was contacted by a New Opportunities Waiver (NOW) client who always wanted to live with his family. However, there were not supports in place to allow for a successful future. Hurricane Ida relocated his family to Baton Rouge where he lives and he was able to move in with his family and maintain his current level of supports.
The SILAP advocate assisted this client in moving out of the ICF group home several years ago and was aware of his family dynamics and was able to advocate on his behalf to maintain his current level of waiver services while living with his family.
