We work to ensure that people with disabilities have access to necessary healthcare and long-term supports and services that will allow them to remain in their homes or return to their home communities.
Our target population is Medicaid-eligible children and adults with disabilities who need adequate home and community-based services, primary care, behavioral health services or other health care in order to live safely and successfully in their homes and in the community.
We work to ensure that all individuals with disabilities, including but not limited to waiver recipients, have appropriate home and community-based services that meet their needs.
Through our SILAP program we advocate for waiver recipients living in Supported Living and other similar situations in parishes served by Metropolitan Human Services District, Jefferson Parish Human Services Authority, or Capitol Area Human Services District.
