How Integrated Community Supports Work in Nicollet County

Integrated Community Supports (ICS) is a Minnesota waiver service delivered in a person’s own apartment. Each listing is a DHS-approved ICS setting; capacity is the most people it is approved to serve.

  • Who It Serves

    Adults on the Brain Injury (BI), CADI, CAC, or DD waiver who want an apartment of their own with support.

  • Where It Happens

    Apartments in a multifamily building the provider owns, leases, or has a financial tie to, approved by DHS with a setting capacity report.

  • How It Differs From a Group Home

    A group home (CRS) is a shared, licensed home with 24-hour staff. With ICS the person has their own unit, and support is scheduled to their plan.

  • One Provider per Building

    Only one licensed provider may deliver ICS at a building, so choosing the apartment usually means choosing the provider.

Questions Case Managers Ask

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Integrated Community Supports (ICS) in Minnesota?

ICS is a 245D waiver service that gives adults support and training in their own apartment, inside a multifamily building the provider controls. Support can be up to 24 hours a day, based on the person’s plan.

Who can get ICS?

Adults on the Brain Injury (BI) or CADI waiver (since 2021) and the CAC or DD waiver (since 2023). The person’s case manager authorizes the service.

How is ICS different from a group home?

A group home is a community residential setting (CRS) licensed under 245D: a shared home where staff provide 24-hour care, usually for four or fewer people. ICS is delivered in the person’s own unit in an apartment building, and the building is approved by DHS rather than licensed as a residence.

Who pays rent in an ICS apartment?

The waiver pays for the support, not room and board. Rent is paid separately, often from the person’s income or Minnesota Housing Support. Ask each provider whether their building accepts Housing Support.

How do I find an ICS opening in Nicollet County?

Every listing here is a DHS-approved ICS setting in Nicollet County, from the DHS list dated September 29, 2026. Approved capacity is the most people the setting can serve, not current openings. Post one request to reach every ICS provider in the county, or call providers directly.

What do case managers need to authorize ICS?

Ask the provider for the setting-specific NPI or UMPI, then confirm the setting’s enrollment in the MHCP provider directory before authorizing the service.
