Supports for Community Living (SCL) providers include Community Mental Health centers and public and private agencies across the state. These providers are certified by the Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities. A complete listing can be found on the Online Provider Directory at: http://dbhdid.ky.gov/ProviderDirectory/.

If you are already receiving SCL services, your case manager will help you transition to SCL services during your birth month. If you are not currently receiving SCL services, the first step is to complete an application form for SCL services (MAP-620). You may obtain an application by calling a Community Mental Health Center or another SCL provider in your area or by printing a copy from the Medicaid website at http://chfs.ky.gov/dms/forms.htm or by calling 502-564-7702. There is currently a waiting list for services and supports.

The participant directed services option gives SCL participants more choices in the way some of their services are provided. For more information contact the Department for Aging and Independent Living at 877-293-7447.
