Each community support system is based upon the range of services as may be necessary to meet a client’s needs:
(a) Personal assistance to secure and maintain housing, food, clothing, income, and health benefits.
(b) Accessing social and vocational skill development activities when they are available, case management, and crisis intervention, with a focus on finding alternatives to acute inpatient hospital care, services when they are needed.
