How support is funded
Ways families pay for Soar

Private pay
Families can also arrange support privately, with clear and predictable rates. Ask us for a simple written estimate.
Applying or not sure?
Not enrolled in a waiver yet? We can point you to your county Administrative Entity and a Supports Coordinator to begin the process.
A quick note: Eligibility for waivers is determined by the Pennsylvania Office of Developmental Programs and your county Administrative Entity, not by Soar. We’re glad to help you navigate the steps and connect with the right people.
