Welcome

Welcome to the California Community Choices project website.  California Community Choices, an initiative of the California Health and Human Services Agency (CHHS), was formed in partnership with the California Institute on Human Services, the California Olmstead Advisory Committee, and other stakeholders.  In September 2006, the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services awarded CHHS a Real Choice Systems Change Grant to support the California Community Choices project.  An 18-member Advisory Committee comprised of consumers, advocates and providers representing persons with disabilities and older adults was established to advise CHHS on development of the project and to monitor project activities.   California Community Choices represents an important component of the State’s Olmstead efforts.
