Consumer Support Grant

Consumer Support Grant Overview

With the Consumer Support Grant (CSG) program, you can use some Medicaid dollars for your home care services and supports. Through the program, the state funds that would be used to pay for your needs are converted into a cash grant. Then, you can use that grant to pay for the home and community-based services important to you. You can hire friends or family members—including a parent or spouse—to help you. And, you can use the money to pay for items that help you be more independent.
