Washington State’s Community Living Connections is part of a national collaborative effort of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Veterans Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services designed to help individuals of all ages, disabilities and income levels, their caregivers, legal representatives and families get the right home and community-based supports and services at the right time, in the right place.
Finding the right services can be a daunting task and Washington State’s CLC network will help individuals, their caregivers, legal representatives and families navigate and connect with information and access to long-term and home or community-based service and supports system.
By linking consumers with services and supports that match their individualized priorities and preferences, CLC network partners have the ability to assist individuals to remain at home or in their communities. CLCs provide four key services to consumers: Information, Referral, and Awareness; Options Counseling and Assistance; Streamlined Eligibility Assistance for Public Programs; and Person-Centered Care Transitions Supports.
