Individualized Home Supports (IHS) are services that offer assistance and/or training in specific areas of daily life to help individuals live more independently in the community. There are three types of IHS services:
IHS without training
IHS with training
IHS with family training
To learn more about each type, refer to the Service Options section on this page.

All support must fall within approved service areas and address needs identified in the person’s assessment (e.g., MnCHOICES).
Training Services
Training focuses on building and strengthening the person’s skills for independent living. This includes:
Learning new skills
Retaining current abilities
Improving functioning in community settings
Training must also align with covered service areas and address the needs outlined in the individual’s assessment.
