The Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities Services (MCBDDS) Family Support Services Program provides funding to families who are caring for a family member with developmental disabilities that is living at home with their primary caregiver. It is a locally-funded service.
MCBDDS contracts with the Southwestern Ohio Council of Governments to administer this important program.
- Families do not have to report their taxable income to access services, thus eliminating co-pays.
- Individuals on Home and Community-Based Services Waivers are not eligible for funding through the Family Support Services Program.
For detailed information about the program, please consult the Family Support Services Program Program Guidelines.
