Community Transitional Services (CTS) - individually designed services intended to assist a waiver participant to transition from a nursing home to living in the community. CTS is a one-time service per waiver enrollment. If the waiver participant has been discontinued from the program and now is a resident of a nursing home, they can access this service again, if needed. This service is only provided when transitioning from a nursing home. These funds are not available to move from the participant's home in the community to another location in the community. The funding limits for this service are separate and apart from the limits applied to Moving Assistance, and the two services will not be used at the same time in any approved Service Plan.

This service includes: the cost of moving furniture and other belongings, security deposits, including broker's fees required to obtain a lease on an apartment or home; purchasing essential furnishings; set-up fees or deposits for utility or service access (e.g. telephone, electricity, heating); and health and safety assurances such as pest removal, allergen control or one time cleaning prior to occupancy.
