Community First Services and Supports
Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is a Minnesota health care program that offers flexible options to meet the unique needs of people. CFSS allows people greater independence in their homes and communities. CFSS will replace personal care assistance (PCA) and the Consumer Support Grant (CSG).
DHS will begin implementing CFSS on Oct 1, 2024. View the Timeline tab for more information about the implementation.
CFSS will cover the same main services as PCA:
- Activities of daily living, such as eating, bathing, grooming and transferring
- Health-related tasks
- Instrumental activities of daily living, such as shopping, cooking, laundry and assistance with self-administered medications
- Observation and redirection of behavior.
