Capital supports
Capital supports is a budget type for higher-cost items such as assistive technology and home or vehicle modifications.
Capital supports is one of the three budget types in a plan. It covers higher-cost, often one-off items, including assistive technology, and home or vehicle modifications.
Supports in this budget are stated for a specific purpose rather than moving freely between categories, and higher-cost items here usually involve a quote, and sometimes an assessment, before they proceed.
What a capital supports budget includes for an individual plan follows the reasonable and necessary test, weighed against the person’s goals and current equipment.
