Our 
Story

The Commonwealth of Virginia began providing Home and Community Based Services (HCSB) in 1991 allowing both Community Services Boards ( CSB) and Private Providers to share the market. 

​

In 2013, DBHDS began a redesign of exiting waivers taking into account what people wanted in their services. This process was guided by the Department of Justice and has helped transform into a system of care that better meets the needs of individuals eligible for waiver services. This system transformation is continuous and ongoing. 

​

CLS began providing services in 2012. Both management and staff have extensive experience in service delivery and are dedicated to providing quality services that will make a real difference to the individuals.
