A Brighter Path
Minnesota CDCS support planning, built around you — helping you choose the supports that fit your life, your goals, and your budget.
What is CDCS?
Consumer Directed Community Supports lets people use their Medicaid waiver budget to choose their own supports. Your support planner helps you write the plan, so your budget works for your goals, your needs, and the life you want to live.
Waivers we serve: CADI, DD, EW, AC, CAC, BI.
We serve families in all Minnesota counties.

About A Brighter Path
A Brighter Path was founded by Brahim and Dorothy Bouzouma, a husband-and-wife team helping Minnesota families with CDCS support planning. We take the time to understand your family, your goals, and your needs, and we write a plan that works for your life.
