ODP Waiver Information
Understanding the funding sources and waiver programs that support Community Participation Support in Pennsylvania.
Waivers That Fund CPS
Community Participation Support is available through several Pennsylvania ODP waiver programs.
Consolidated Waiver
The most comprehensive waiver, providing a full range of services for individuals with the most intensive support needs. CPS is a core service available under this waiver.
- Comprehensive service package
- No enrollment cap
- Individuals with intensive needs
- Full CPS service access
Community Living Waiver
Designed for individuals who need residential and community support. CPS helps participants integrate into their community and pursue employment.
- Community-based living support
- CPS for community integration
- Employment pathway services
- Person-centered planning
P/FDS Waiver
The Person/Family Directed Support waiver gives individuals and families more control over their services, including CPS. Self-directed service options available.
- Person/family directed
- Self-directed service options
- Individual budget management
- CPS service inclusion
Base-Funded Program
CPS also serves as the Department-established fee service for the Community Intellectual Disability Base-Funded Program managed through county MH/ID programs. This ensures that individuals who may not yet have waiver enrollment can still access community participation support services. Note: The Adult Autism Waiver uses its own analogous service definition rather than CPS proper.
