• A spouse of a person eligible for a HDM as described above, regardless of age or condition. 

• A person with a disability, under age sixty (60), who resides in housing facilities with others 

• A disabled individual who resides at home with an eligible older individual participating in the program. 

 Determination of Need: 

•The individual is unable to leave his or her home under normal circumstances. 

•The person is unable to participate in the congregate meals program because of physical or emotional problems. 

•There is no spouse, domestic partner, or other adult living in the same residence who is both willing and able to prepare all meals.
