SELF-DIRECTED BUDGETS
 

A self-directed budget is controlled by you, along with trusted family and friends and is completely optional, but highly recommended. This allows you to have control of who, what, when, where and how supports are provided. It shows you how money is being spent and evaluates the benefit of the services being offered to you. CLS staff will work with you to identify support needs and develop your budget which includes the costs of all services received through CLS.
