The Washington D.C. Community Transition Services Policy Manual provides a comprehensive operational framework for agencies and professionals delivering transition services to individuals moving from institutional settings (such as nursing facilities or intermediate care facilities) back into community-based living arrangements within the District of Columbia. This manual aligns with the regulations established by the D.C. Department on Disability Services (DDS), including the Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA) and the Aging and Disability Resources Center (ADRC), and complies with Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waiver requirements, particularly the Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration program.
The manual includes policies and procedures governing comprehensive transition planning, housing identification and acquisition, essential household goods and furnishings, utility set-up, move coordination, linkage to community-based supports and services (e.g., in-home supports, transportation, behavioral health), financial management assistance, and post-transition follow-up. It emphasizes the delivery of person-centered, coordinated, and time-limited services designed to facilitate successful and sustainable transitions for individuals into integrated community settings, promoting their independence, choice, and quality of life. This manual serves as a foundational resource for community transition service providers in Washington D.C., ensuring the delivery of high-quality, compliant, and effective services that empower individuals to thrive in their chosen community environments.
