Health — CFSS Consultation

Community First Services and Supports (CFSS) is Minnesota’s self-directed support designed for choice, flexibility, and independence. Pioneer Solutions provides neutral consultation to help participants understand options and navigate requirements.

What We Do

  • Orientation to CFSS, eligibility, and roles (participant/representative).
  • Support choosing a model: Agency vs Budget.
  • Person-centered service plan development.
  • Skills coaching and ongoing support.
  • Referrals to FMS providers and community resources.

Key Points

  • Participants can select and train workers (including certain family members where allowed).
  • Goods & supports may be purchased when they increase independence and meet criteria.
  • Consultation is neutral—we do not steer you to any one model or provider.
  • We offer services statewide, in-person and virtual.

For official CFSS rules, see the Minnesota DHS website.
