At Covenant Human Services, our Individualized Home Supports (IHS) program is a Minnesota DHS 245D-licensed service designed to provide flexible, person-centered support to individuals living in their own home or with family.

​

We focus on meeting each person where they are—building services around their goals, preferences, and daily life, not the other way around. Whether someone needs occasional assistance or ongoing support, our approach is always individualized, practical, and empowering.

​

Who Can Benefit from IHS?

IHS is ideal for individuals who want support with:

• Building daily living skills

• Increasing independence and safety at home

• Participating in community life

• Improving communication and social connections

• Maintaining consistency around work, school, or activities

• Receiving evening, overnight, or weekend support

​

Who Qualifies?

An individual may be eligible for IHS if they:

• Live in their own home or a family home

• Receive services through a qualifying Minnesota disability waiver:

  • Brain Injury (BI)

  • Community Access for Disability Inclusion (CADI)

  • Developmental Disabilities (DD)

• Have a case manager and an approved support plan that includes IHS

Case managers coordinate service authorization and planning.

​
