Moving Home Minnesota (MHM) helps people move from institutions to their own home in the community. MHM promotes the development and implementation of transition plans that reflect the preferences of people receiving services and the opportunity to receive services in their home in the community. Lead agencies (counties, tribal nations and managed care organizations) will help the person receiving MHM services select a transition coordinator. The transition coordinator will help create and implement a plan to transition the person back to the community. Moving Home Minnesota's objectives include:
