Financial Planning: Government Benefits (Families with Children/Teens)

CCBDD’s Family Supports Program is administered by the North East Ohio Network (NEON). Interested families will need to contact them to access services and resources available through the program. This program can help supply funding for a variety of supports a family may need, such as:

Incontinence supplies, specialized nutrition, special equipment, therapies and classes, training and conferences, camp assistance, respite care, and home modifications.

The Family Supports Program is only available to persons eligible for CCBDD services who are living at home with a family member. Individuals who live in their own apartment, who are enrolled on a Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services Waiver (Level 1, Individual Options, or Self-Empowered Life Funding), who live in an intermediate care facility (ICF) or who live in foster care are not eligible for services from the Family Supports Program. If you have a Support Administrator, please contact him/her. You may be eligible for similar services.
