Brokerages
Brokerages are contractors with the State of Oregon who provide services to adults age 18 and over who are living on their own. This can mean in their own home or with their parents. Brokerages handle most of the day-to-day issues. Case workers at the brokerages are called Personal Agents. When an adult client is not enrolled in services other than case management and requires more than occasional services, or requires services that are available through a support service brokerage, the individual must be referred to a brokerage, unless the individual refuses. Referrals to the support services brokerage must be in accordance with the most current published guidelines for access to brokerage services.
Brokerage clients direct their own services and have the right to choose what is appropriate for themselves, based on their own goals. The Personal Agent serves as a facilitator.
