A. Upon acceptance of the ISP by the client or as defined in a court order, services shall be initiated in accordance with the timetable identified in the ISP.

B. If all or a portion of the ISP is rejected by the client or guardian, the plan shall not be implemented and services shall not be provided unless the client or guardian consents to specific services.

C. For each client who is identified as needing alternative housing, a new residential setting, or a residential support service, the case manager shall inform the client of the need for an alternative living arrangement and shall use the case manager's best efforts to obtain appropriate housing or residential supports. These efforts may include showing the client the house or apartment in which the client could reside, introducing the client to other residents of the residential setting, as appropriate, and permitting the client to live in the alternative setting on a trial basis. All clients shall be informed that they may elect to move at any time in the future subject to the terms of any lease, mortgage, contract, or other legal agreement between the client and the housing provider.

D. For at least the first two months after a client moves to a new residential setting, the case manager shall coordinate and monitor support services, as identified in the client's ISP, in order to foster the maintenance of the client's key relationships with others, to provide necessary orientation, and to ensure a smooth and successful transition into the new setting.

E. All contracts with service providers shall include:

1. A provision that the service provider shall abide by the rules contained in this Chapter and shall not alter, terminate, or otherwise interrupt services required under the ISP except parts of the ISP that have been modified according to R9-21-314;

2. A provision that the service provider shall cooperate with the Administration in collecting data necessary to determine if the Administration is meeting its obligations under this Chapter and A.R.S. Title 36, Chapter 5, Article 10; and

3. A provision that the service provider agrees to maintain current client records that document progress toward achievement of ISP goals and objectives and that meet applicable requirements of law, contract, and professional standards.
