What is the CLASS Program in Texas?

CLASS stands for Community Living Assistance and Support Services and is a Medicaid waiver program that provides care and support to those with intellectual disabilities or related conditions. This program is administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and helps enable individuals to live in their communities rather than in an intermediate care facility. The CLASS program is intended to promote independence, community integration, and an improved quality of life for participants.
