Purpose

To authorize an exception to age and size limits for certain housing settings that provide customized living and 24-hour customized living services. The bill requires the commissioner of human services to determine that these exceptions apply to specific settings in Eden Prairie that serve people enrolled in the Brain Injury (BI) waiver and the Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI) waiver.

Main Provisions

• The commissioner of human services must determine that age and size limitation exceptions apply to BI or CADI waiver customized living and 24-hour customized living in three housing settings.
• The three settings are located at:
  • 8751 Preserve Boulevard, Eden Prairie
  • 8761 Preserve Boulevard, Eden Prairie
  • 8771 Preserve Boulevard, Eden Prairie
• These settings provide customized living and 24-hour customized living services to clients enrolled in the BI and CADI waivers.
• Each address was capable of serving ten clients as of July 1, 2022.

Significance and What This Changes

• Establishes or confirms exceptions to existing age and size limits for these specific customized living settings.
• Targets a defined group (BI and CADI waiver enrollees) and a defined location (three Eden Prairie addresses) with a stated capacity at a past date (July 1, 2022).

Implications

• Could expand housing options for BI and CADI waiver participants by allowing these settings to operate under different age/size parameters.
• May influence how these waiver services are delivered and where participants can reside within these settings.
