Idaho Association of Community Providers

What Idaho Association of Community Providers does

Idaho Association of Community Providers (IACP) is a Twin Falls, Idaho-based nonprofit membership association that represents community-based providers serving individuals with behavioral health needs and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the state. The organization was formed in 2014 through the merger of six predecessor associations — Mental Health Providers Association of Idaho (MHPAI), Idaho Association of Developmental Disabilities Agencies (IADDA), Case Management Association of Idaho, Idaho Residential Supported Living Association (IRSLA), Advocates for Addiction Counseling and Treatment (AACT), and Vocational Services of Idaho (VSI) — to coordinate cross-system advocacy on Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) policy, Medicaid reimbursement, and regulatory engagement with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and the state legislature.

IACP's "product" is a membership and advocacy platform organized around seven provider specialty subgroups: Behavioral Health, Developmental Disability Agencies, Residential Habilitation, DD Case Management, Certified Family Homes (CFHs), Employment Services, Children's Residential Programs, and Supported Living. The technology backbone is Wild Apricot membership management software, used to administer tiered online sign-ups, member directories, subgroup forums, and event registration. The organization delivers value through quarterly in-person membership and subgroup meetings (alternating between north Idaho, eastern Idaho, and Boise), an annual Capitol Days advocacy event at the Idaho State Capitol, subgroup-specific forums for troubleshooting, and written policy commentary distributed via email.

The business model is a subscription-style annual membership-dues structure with revenue bands tiered against each member agency's gross annual revenue. Provider dues span 15 tiers from $300 (revenue under $150K) to $4,200 (revenue $20M–$60M); Certified Family Home members pay a flat $120/year or $10/month; Affiliate members pay $500/year and Business Associate members pay $1,500/year. Meeting sponsorships (~$1,000 per event) provide an additional revenue layer. The organization is governed by an elected Board of Directors with a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Immediate Past-President, each also leading a provider subgroup, and is operated by a small staff (1–10 employees) under Executive Director Caroline Merritt. No funding rounds, commercial product, or external equity ownership are indicated.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• American Network of Community Options and Resources (ANCOR): National trade association representing private providers of community services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. ANCOR is directly listed by IACP as a key national partner and operates at the national level with overlapping advocacy on HCBS, Medicaid, and direct-care workforce issues that mirror IACP's state-level agenda.
• Mental Health America: National community-based nonprofit advocating for mental health and operating affiliated state organizations that lobby legislatures and serve as membership bodies — directly analogous to IACP's behavioral health advocacy and legislative coordination function, just at larger scale.
• National Council for Mental Wellbeing: Membership association representing behavioral health and addiction treatment providers across the U.S., with state-affiliated chapters that conduct the same kind of advocacy, training, and Capitol Day activities that IACP runs for Idaho's behavioral health subgroup. Highly comparable business model.
• The Arc of the United States: National community-based organization advocating for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), with state and local chapters across the U.S. Overlaps directly with IACP's DD Agencies, Residential Habilitation, and Supported Living subgroups on policy advocacy and member support.

Direct peers

• Ohio Provider Resource Association (OPRA): Ohio-based membership association of community-based behavioral health and intellectual/developmental disability providers. Closely mirrors IACP's structure (multi-specialty provider members, tiered dues, statehouse advocacy, annual Capitol Days) in a neighboring state context — useful direct peer for benchmarking scale and policy wins.
• Tennessee Association of Mental Health Organizations (TAMHO): Tennessee statewide membership association of community mental health and behavioral health providers with advocacy and Capitol Day programming. IACP's behavioral-health advocacy model is essentially a state-level version of TAMHO's approach.
• Michigan Association of Community Mental Health Services Boards: Michigan statewide association representing community mental health service providers and the local CMHSP system. Operates a tiered membership and legislative advocacy model directly comparable to IACP's behavioral health and DD provider representation in Idaho.
• Community Behavioral Health Association of Pennsylvania (CBHPA): Pennsylvania statewide trade association for community-based behavioral health and intellectual disability/disability providers. Comparable multi-specialty membership structure and direct HCBS advocacy mission, used here as a reference point for state-level peer governance and dues design.

Others

• National Disability Rights Network (NDRN): Network of state-based Protection and Advocacy (P&A) organizations serving people with disabilities. IACP lists NDRN as a national advocacy partner; complementary (not competing) mission focused on legal rights and access, much like Disability Rights Idaho at the state level.
• National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disabilities Services (NASDDDS): Membership association of state agency leaders administering DD services — listed by IACP as a national partner. Different membership base (government officials rather than community providers) but parallel role in HCBS policy and Medicaid coordination.
