Remote support policy update

Effective immediately, DHS updated the remote support policy to allow a person to receive services remotely while in their bedroom. DHS approval is no longer required for use of cameras in bedrooms when the cameras are used solely to provide remote support. For more information, see CBSM – Remote support.

When cameras are used in bedrooms for all other purposes, lead agencies must continue to follow monitoring technology usage instructions on CBSM – Monitoring technology usage.
