Mainstream 811 Non-Elderly Disabled (NED) Voucher

The Mainstream 811 Non-Elderly Disabled (NED) voucher, also known as Mainstream NED enables income eligible household members who is a non-elderly (age 18 and under 62) person with disabilities who is transitioning out of institution, other segregated settings, or at serious risk of institutionalization, or homelessness. Eligible applicants may apply when their preferred county wait list is open.
