Month: August 2026 · Service line: Residential habilitation / supported living

Only months with at least five included submissions are listed. The Monthly Pulse covers residential habilitation and supported living only, so the service-line filter above does not subdivide it further.

Median DSP vacancy — twelve-month rolling

Months below the publish threshold appear as gaps (n < 5). The vertical line marks July 1, 2026, when the rate reductions took effect.

A note on this data

These figures reflect self-selected providers who chose to participate. The sample is not statistically representative of all Idaho HCBS providers. Trends across reporting periods are more meaningful than absolute values. See methodology for details on collection, suppression, and limitations.
