The types of supports in your plan

As you may (or may not) know, the supports in your plan can be in three main budgets.

• Core Supports - for everyday life.
• Capacity Building Supports - to build your skills and independence.
• Capital Supports - big ticket items or technology to assist you.

Click here for information about these funding budgets, and what you may be able to get with each.

You might also see terms in your plan like:

• Stated supports
• Quote required
• In-kind supports

Sometimes seeing these in your plan may require you to be aware of a restriction. Other times they don’t need any action from you. You can read more here.

Working with providers

We’ll be paying invoices for all of your service providers, so we want to check in to make sure that you’ve got the right protections in place.

A service agreement is a document that makes sure you and your provider are on the same page. It will say what they will offer you, how they’ll work for you, and also what expectations they have from you (e.g. giving notice if you want to leave).

Here’s some more information about service agreements.
