If you are on the Developmental Disability Waiver Wait List you may be able to access the Individual and Family Support Program (IFSP) and  Support Coordination/Case Management. 

Individual and Family Support Program Funding - VA Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services
The Individual and Family Support Program-Funding is designed to assist children and adults on the waiting list for the Developmental Disability Waiver Program to access short-term resources, supports, and services that will help them remain in their home. 

IFSP-Funding provides funding to children/adults who are on Virginia’s DD waiver waitlist. Individuals with a developmental disability who are on the DD waitlist or their family member are eligible to apply. IFSP funds cover the cost of a very wide variety of items and supports to help the child/adult living in their own home or their family home.
To get information about the IFSP including IFSP Funding announcements, subscribe to the email list.
