PICS (Partners in Community Supports) is a Financial Management Service (FMS) and licensed services provider for families who receive support in their own homes and communities. We offer services statewide to individuals with disabilities, older adults and their families. When you choose to self-direct, you decide who your caregivers are and how you receive support. At PICS, we're here to help you handle the details, including hiring and training, managing payroll, budgets and everything in between. PICS serves as an FMS and licensed service provider for the following: Consumer Directed Community Supports (CDCS): An option under the Home and Community Based Waiver program that allows people to direct their own services. Consumer Support Grant (CSG): State-funded alternative to Medicaid that can be used to purchase goods, supports and services. Individualized Home Support without training: These are traditional waivered services. Private pay services: Service option for individuals not eligible for a state-based waiver but would still like to pay for self-directed services. PICS is a subsidiary of Lutheran Social Service of Minnesota.
