Services | Requirements | Contacts

Community Living Assistance and Support Services (CLASS) provides home and community based services to people with disabilities or a related condition as a cost-effective alternative to placement in an intermediate care facility. A related condition is a disability with a primary condition other than mental retardation that affects the ability to function in daily life. CLASS is a Medicaid waiver program providing individualized services in the person’s home and is administered by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (DADS). UCP of North Texas provides Case Management Services for the CLASS program in the North Texas Area with regional offices in Dallas, Fort Worth, Lufkin and Longview.
