Since 2018, ACL and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have funded the National Center on Advancing Person-Centered Practices and Systems (NCAPPS). The mission of NCAPPS is to promote systems change that makes person-centered principles not just an aspiration but a reality in the lives of people who require services and supports across the lifespan.
To fulfill this mission, NCAPPS provides free technical assistance to states experiencing significant challenges implementing person-centered planning in compliance with the Home and Community-Based Services Final Rule requirements. NCAPPS works with human services agencies to create tangible action plans and connect them to experienced subject matter experts to provide support in achieving their goals. States have used NCAPPS technical assistance to develop, implement, and improve person-centered planning policies, procedures, processes, guidance documents, manuals, and more.
Free NCAPPS technical assistance is currently available through the end of August 2025. To apply for technical assistance, states must complete and submit the online application form. States that submit applications by the end of the day on December 31, 2024, will receive priority review. Applications submitted after this date will be considered based on remaining available funding. Questions can be addressed to ncapps@hsri.org.
NCAPPS is an initiative from the Administration for Community Living and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that helps states, tribes, and territories implement person-centered thinking, planning, and practice.
