Service
Help individuals build skills and take part in the everyday life of their community — at their pace, on their terms.
Community Based Supports help an individual learn, practice, and apply the skills needed to participate in their community. That can mean using public transit, volunteering at a neighborhood organization, taking a class, building friendships at a recreation center, or simply running errands with confidence.
A DSP is matched to the individual based on interests, schedule, and goals. Sessions happen in the community — not in an office — and progress is documented in clear, plain-language notes shared with the Support Coordinator.
Community Based Supports are covered under the NJ DDD Supports Program and Community Care Program (Medicaid waiver). The hours and budget are set in the individual's Individualized Service Plan (ISP) and authorized by the Support Coordinator.
Support Coordinators can submit a referral directly. Families and individuals can reach out to our intake line — we'll walk through next steps together.
