Fix The List

People with developmental disabilities and their families have repeatedly told us Ohio’s waiting list for Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers is overly complex and in need of simplification.  The previous waiting list confused people with developmental disabilities and their families, misled advocates and hindered efforts by policymakers to direct resources to where they are needed most.

To better serve Ohioans with developmental disabilities, the organizations listed below have been collaborating for more than 22 months to modernize Ohio’s DD waiver waiting list. We believe by replacing the previous system will greatly improve the way Ohio’s DD waiting list for HCBS waivers operates.
