The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working to ensure people in Iowa have access to high-quality behavioral health, disability and aging services in their communities. This initiative, called Hope and Opportunity in Many Environments (HOME), is aimed at redesigning community-based services (CBS) to help Iowans stay independent in their communities.
As part of this effort, HHS leadership will visit communities in October and November.
HOMEtown Conversations will be held both in-person and virtually across the state. These forums provide an opportunity for invested Iowans to directly connect with Iowa HHS leadership to learn more about HOME, ask questions and share their ideas to improve the CBS system.
HHS wants to hear from people who use community-based services, caregivers, service providers, case managers, advocates and community members! Forums are being held throughout the state and virtually if you are interested in signing up.
