Platte County Board of Services

What Platte County Board of Services does

Platte County Board of Services (PCBS) is a political subdivision of Platte County, Missouri, established in 1975 under Missouri State Law (RSMo 205.968 to 205.972, also known as Senate Bill 40) to deliver services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). It is a government-affiliated, nonprofit entity that is CARF-accredited across its Community Living, Day Habilitation, and Community Networking programs, and operates as the designated county SB40 board for Platte County.

PCBS's service platform spans six core programs. Community Living Services provide residential support in six group homes plus individualized supported living, skill development, and personal assistance. Day Habilitation offers life-skills and socialization programming in groups of no more than six. Transportation Services delivered 587,580 consumer miles in 2025 with drivers trained in ISP implementation, CPR/First Aid, and positive behavior support. Community Networking, Mobility Management, and the newer NeuroDiverseCity (NDC) social recreation center in Zona Rosa — extended county-wide in 2025 via Mobile NDC — round out a continuum from residential care through community inclusion. Training Services (CPR/First Aid/AED, Medication Aide) and a 2025-launched podcast, 'A Few of My Favorites,' supplement direct service delivery with workforce development and community engagement.

The business model is publicly funded, not commercial. PCBS is supported by a Platte County property mill levy (SB40) and the Missouri Home and Community Based Waiver via the Missouri Department of Mental Health, with no publicly disclosed service pricing. In addition, PCBS disburses over $1.2M (2025) and more than $1.4M (2026) to 13+ Community Support Partners, including Ability KC, Easterseals Midwest, Down Syndrome Innovations, Center for Human Services, and Vocational Services Inc. Technology infrastructure is non-proprietary and operationally standard: Therap for case management and ISP documentation, ADP Workforce Now for HR/payroll, Acuity Scheduling for training bookings, Wufoo for forms, and Zoom and YouTube for board meetings and content distribution. Headcount sits at 51–100 employees serving a Platte County–anchored catchment with partner reach across the Kansas City metropolitan area.
