- Which support coordination agencies do you work with?
Questions families ask
How does a family get a place in a community residential home?
Residential support is part of the COMP waiver. Your support coordinator adds it to the service plan and DBHDD authorizes it; you then choose a provider that has an opening in a home that fits. We list the seven support coordination agencies and the counties each one covers.
Why do these listings show no street address?
Each home is an ordinary house where a few adults with developmental disabilities live. We list the provider that runs the homes, with its city, county and phone, and never the address of a home. The provider tells you about a home when you call.
How is this different from a personal care home?
A personal care home serves older adults and adults who need help with daily living, and CCSP or SOURCE can pay. A community residential home serves adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities, with staff support day and night, paid by COMP. Georgia licenses most of these homes as Community Living Arrangements.
