Hope and Opportunity in Many Environments (HOME)

HOME Overview

Hope and Opportunity in Many Environments (HOME) is a project in Iowa that aims to make sure everyone can access quality behavioral health, disability, and aging services close to home.

To do this, the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) started by evaluating community-based services in 2023. We also created a transformation plan to guide improvements. Since then, we have gathered feedback from Iowans who use these services, along with input from caregivers, case managers, and providers.
