Frequently asked questions.

1. What is CDCS?

Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS) is a service option in Minnesota that gives you more choice and control over your supports. Instead of being assigned providers, you decide who helps you, what services you use, and how your budget is spent.

2. What services does CDCS cover?

CDCS can cover personal support staff, respite care, specialized equipment or supplies, and even home or community modifications. What’s approved depends on your county and plan, but the flexibility is much greater than traditional services.

3.How do I know if CDCS is right for me?

CDCS is ideal if you want more flexibility, independence, and control over your supports. You can design services around your life, hire people you trust, and direct your budget where it matters most. Every situation is different, and that’s where we can help contact us for clear guidance and step-by-step support to see if CDCS is the right path for you.
