To receive HCS services, you must be Medicaid-eligible and have a diagnosis of intellectual and/or developmental disability.
When you are enrolled in the HCS program, you may choose where and with whom you’ll live. You might choose to live in an apartment with a roommate or in your family home. It’s up to you. HCS offers funding for several levels of supervision and support for you in your home.
You are responsible for paying your rent and living expenses, and Cartman & Hampton, Inc. employees are available to help you access financial resources such as Social Security Income and Disability and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Food Stamp benefits.
HCS is designed to support and assist you and your family in meeting your needs. There are a wide variety of supports included in this program, including medical and dental, habilitative, and employment assistance services.
Yes. HCS allows you to live in your own home or your family home, meaning you can enjoy being part of your neighborhood.
During the day, you may choose to participate in a day habilitation program where you could meet new people, learn life skills, and take field trips in the Houston and surrounding areas. If your goal is to have a job, HCS provides funding for you to participate in employment assistance programs that will help you plan and develop a career.
To learn more about HCS or to enroll in the program, you or your primary caregiver can call our office. We will coordinate your plan with the Local Intellectual and Developmental and Disability Authority.
