MISSION
Community Living in Mississippi – Baddour (CLIMB) provides supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities so that they can be informed, engaged, and vibrant parts of their community. We will plan with persons rather than for them based on their wants and needs and picture of an ideal life.
Who is eligible?
Persons receiving services through CLIMB’s community programs are enrolled in the Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Program for Individuals with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities (ID/DD Waiver).
The ID/DD Waiver is a funding source through which services are provided to persons living in their communities rather than being placed in an institution. Persons must be eligible for Medicaid and meet the level of care required for institutional placement to be considered for enrollment in the program.
Medicaid and the Mississippi Department of Mental Health (DMH) are responsible for the administration and operation of the ID/DD Waiver in Mississippi. All services and supports shall be provided in compliance with rules and regulations set forth by Medicaid, DMH, and the ID/DD Medicaid Waiver document approved by the Center for Medicaid Services (CMS).
