The cabinet, 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 cabinet, 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.
