CFSS (Community First Services and Supports)

---

 Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is a new self-directed  option that is being developed by the state of Minnesota to provide more  choice, control, and flexibility to people who use home services and  supports to live and work in their community. CFSS is designed to  improve upon the personal care assistance (PCA) program, which is being  phased out at the end of 2022, by expanding the options for how services  are provided and who can provide them. It also offers additional  support for writing plans, more self-direction options, and the ability  to purchase goods to aid a person's independence.
