    Stage 4: Follow-Up

    The lead agency may choose to authorize the follow-up stage only after the person has moved to a home of his or her own that is not owned, leased or controlled by a disability services provider.


    It is intended to help the person keep his or her home and may include:

    • Going with a person to housing related meetings with his or her landlord
    • Helping him or her understand and follow notices from his or her landlord about community rules
    • Following up about housing benefits.

    IMPORTANT:

    If the lead agency authorizes an additional move for a person less than eight months after he or she relocates, MMIS will trigger a suspended edit so DHS can review.


    DHS will approve the authorization if a person:
    • Wants to move closer to a new job
    • Chooses to move closer or further from family, or
    • No longer feels safe in his or her environment due to intimidation or harm.
