What Are Home and Community-Based Services?

Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are Medicaid-funded services and supports for people living in their home or other community-based settings. Oregon Health Authority provides these services through a state plan option called 1915(i). These services are available for adults ages 21 and over. They help people with long-term mental health needs live better on their own. 

This page is for people, caregivers, guardians, and families who need support services, as well as for providers. Here, you will find answers to common questions, learn about services and how to access them, find relevant provider information, and more.

The services and supports offered through HCBS are provided to eligible consumers based on their person-centered service plan. The services include:
