The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual
Disabilities, in cooperation with the Hart-Supported Living Council, shall
establish standards for the administration of the Hart-Supported Living
Program. The purpose of these standards is to ensure that a person with a
disability receives supported living services in a manner that empowers the
person to exercise choice and enhances the quality of that person's life. These
standards shall promote the following:
(a) Choice over how, when, and by whom supports are provided and over
where and with whom a person with a disability lives;
(b) Responsibility of the person with a disability and his or her representative
for managing grants and the provision of supports under the grant;
(c) Freedom to live a meaningful life and to participate in activities in the
community with members of the general citizenry;
(d) Enhancement of health and safety;
(e) Flexibility of services that change as the person's needs change without
the individual having to move elsewhere for services;
(f) Use of generic options and natural supports;
(g) Well-planned and proactive opportunities to determine the kinds and
amounts of support desired, with the meaningful participation of the
individual, the individual's family or guardian where appropriate, friends,
and professionals; and
(h) Home ownership or leasing with the home belonging to the person with a
disability, that person's family, or to a landlord to whom rent is paid.
The individual supported living plan shall be developed by the person with a
disability and that person's family or guardian where appropriate, and, as
appropriate, the proposed or current provider.
The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual
Disabilities, in concert with the Hart-Supported Living Council, shall promulgate
administrative regulations under KRS Chapter 13A, if necessary, to establish
the methods of awarding Hart-Supported Living Program grants for individual
supported living plans and monitoring the quality of service delivery, and to
provide for administrative appeal of decisions. Administrative hearings
conducted on appeals shall be conducted in accordance with KRS Chapter
13B.
