The Kentucky Community Integration Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive framework for implementing and managing community-based services for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) in Kentucky. This manual aligns with the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR) Title 921, Chapter 2, Regulation 015, and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services guidelines to ensure full regulatory compliance. It includes policies on eligibility criteria, service provision, housing assistance, supportive services, and transition processes for individuals moving from institutional settings to community-based living.
The manual outlines the Community Integration Supplementation (CIS) program, which is part of the State Supplementation Program for people who are aged, blind, or have a disability. It details the application process through the Department for Community Based Services (DCBS), required documentation, and eligibility verification procedures. The manual also covers resource considerations, payment policies, and annual eligibility reviews.
Key components of the manual include:
Eligibility criteria for CIS, including diagnosis of SMI by a qualified mental health professional5
Guidelines for scattered site housing and community integration
Supportive services such as Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), case management, crisis services, and supported employment
Procedures for maintaining and expanding community-based living options
Quality assurance standards and monitoring processes
The manual serves as a guide for state agencies, local health departments, and service providers in delivering high-quality, community-based care while adhering to Kentucky's regulatory framework for supporting individuals with SMI in integrated community settings
