Our services and programs are here to support your independence.
1115 Waiver Program
Our 1115 Waiver Team here at Access to Independence works together with Healthy Alliance to help bridge the gap between where regular services end and needs still exist. The program is meant to help individuals access services like Housing, Transportation, and Enhanced Care Management in order to improve their physical and mental health with the hopes that it would decrease Medicaid costs.
