DDD funds a wide array of services intended to help support individuals with developmental disabilities who reside in the community. These services are not an entitlement, and their availability depends on current resources. The types of services available also may vary among counties. DDD is always seeking ways to manage its budget and use its funding as effectively as possible in order to serve as many people as possible.

DDD provides case management and/or information and referral services to everyone who is eligible to receive the services it funds. DDD funds three types of services for people who reside in the community:

• day services, including supports for people who are employed
• residential services, including individual supports that assist an individual living at home or elsewhere in the community
• Family Support services that assist families caring for loved ones at home

DDD also administers the Medicaid Community Care Waiver and the Waiting List for Waiver Services.
