OADS Licensing Guidance and Review Tools Webinars
As you may know, the way providers of developmental disabilities services are licensed is changing as of late 2025. Moving forward, all agencies that provide case management, group home, shared living, day, and employment services are required to be licensed by the Division of Certification and Licensing (DLC). The Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) and DLC will jointly oversee the licensing process.
Licensing standards include administrative requirements, physical plant requirements, and program standards. These licenses are service-specific, meaning that different standards will apply to a provider agency based on the type of services that agency provides. To help agencies prepare to transition to the new licensing system, OADS is holding a series of webinars:
If you cannot attend these sessions, recordings will be posted afterward on a new HCBS Licensing and Standards web page. Written guidance and additional information about the licensing process will be posted there as well. Please contact [email protected] if you have any concerns about meeting accessibility or other questions.
We look forward to seeing you all and getting ready for a smooth transition!
