The Hope and Opportunity in Many Environments (HOME) project
Hope and Opportunity in Many Environments (HOME) is a project in Iowa that is working to improve and ensure that everyone has access to high quality behavioral health, disability, and aging services in their communities. The goal is to enhance services to make it easier for people to access the help they need and remain in their communities with their loved ones.
The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) plans to implement gradual and careful changes to the Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Waivers so transitions will not happen all at once. Changes to improve service definitions are already underway, while the change from seven waivers to two waivers will roll out over the next several years.
