Georgia

Georgia DBHDD operates developmental-disability services and the NOW/COMP waiver system with the Department of Community Health. Applications and planning-list prioritization consider functional need, health/safety and the existing support system.

Important: NOW/COMP planning-list priority is based on assessed unmet need, not simply how long someone has waited. Keep DBHDD updated when needs or caregiver capacity materially change.
