Application Process
|
Individuals or their caregivers should call the local department of social services in the county or city where the applicant lives. The local department representative will arrange a home visit to conduct an interview with the applicant to determine their specific needs. The availability of funding for the program determines the number of individuals who can be served state-wide. Therefore, a ranking scale is used to ensure that those with the greatest need are served first.
