Coordinated Family Support Services (CFS)
Coordinated Family Support Services (CFS) is a new service specifically designed for adults with developmental disabilities who choose to live with their family. CFS was created in response to input from families about the lack of available services for adult consumers who choose to live in the family home. CFS service will be tailored, individualized, and flexible to meet the changing needs and preferences of the individual being served along with their family/caregiver.
