What is Family Support?
In 1992, the Tennessee legislature created the Family Support Program in response to advocacy from disability advocates and families. Funded by state dollars, the program helps people with severe disabilities and their families stay together in their homes and communities. Family Support does not replace more comprehensive services available through the Medicaid HCBS Waiver, TennCare, Medicare, or private insurance. Individuals receiving Medicaid waiver services are not eligible for Family Support services.
The program primarily supports the following:
- Families with school-aged or younger children who have severe disabilities
- Adults with severe disabilities who choose to live with their families
