Direct Support Connect is no longer operating as a job posting or matching site.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services is exploring other options to support direct support workers and the people who hire them.

This website will remain up for now to list resources for the Personal Care Assistance health care program and the future Community First Services and Supports health care program, as well as resources for people who hire their own direct support worker, and people who want to find a job as a direct support worker.
