The Commonwealth’s system of services and supports for individuals with developmental disabilities has undergone significant transformation as Virginia redesigned its waiver system under the My Life, My Community (MLMC) initiative. The term My Life, My Community encompasses an overarching vision whereby people with developmental disabilities live, work, play and thrive in their communities, just as others do, with the support they need.
The Departments of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) and Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) are committed to ensuring that individuals, families, providers, and other stakeholders have the information and tools needed to understand the vision for the system and to manage the complexities of system change. The My Life, My Community webpage is intended to provide information for this process as well as the contact information for DBHDS employees. We invite you to learn more about the My Life, My Community initiative.
