Family Report & Resources
Supporting families across Southern Missouri.
Your monthly look at the people we serve, the supports available to you, and what's happening in our community.
What type of services could I have?
Depending on your location within our three service areas, qualifying diagnosis, and Medicaid type, you can qualify for a variety of natural, community, state, and waiverable resources. Supports are explored in order — natural and community first, then state plan, with waiver funding as a last resort.
Natural & Community Supports
Any and all supports that exist naturally in your life. Before requesting any paid services, all natural and community support must be explored.
State Plan Services
Supports provided and funded through Medicaid and the State of Missouri. All state plan services must be explored prior to requesting any waiver-funded services.
Waiver & Other Funded Supports
Paid for with State, Federal, and sometimes SB40 tax dollars. These services are limited and have stricter requirements and regulations.
