Virginia Building Independence Waiver

“Building Independence is for adults 18 years and older who can live mostly independently. They do not need supports all the time. People with this waiver usually own, lease, or control their own living arrangements and supports are complemented by non-waiver-funded rent subsidies.”

“Formerly called the Day Support Waiver, the purpose of this Building Independence home and community-based 1915(c) waiver is to provide support in the community rather than in an Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disability (ICF/IID).”
