Every county should have something like Single Portal, it may be called something different in other counties but that is what it's called here in Wake County.  It's at the County Department of Human Services.  It is the first contact point that anyone relocating should call to access services with an assessment being made, a plan to develop services appropriate to the individual, and then funding to carry out the plan (there is a waiting list not only to receive services but to receive assessments here in Wake County so this process can take a long time if someone is relocating from out of state, or even already living here; those moving from one NC county to Wake County will keep their CAP benefits).  CAP is the Community Access Program and is the funding source for these services and also waivers in children and adults who don't qualify for Medicaid so that they can access that program as well.  Even if an individual is receiving Medicaid waivers in another state, the benefits don't transfer from one state to another because the programs, although federally mandated and partially funded, are carried out by each state separately with each having it's own requirements and benefits and services available.   If they're looking for recreational and social opportunities, I'd suggest Parks & Recreation as well as Special Olympics.  If they're looking for doctors, I'd refer them to the Duke clinic; I know Family Support Network has a list of doctors that are recommended by other parents of children with special needs but most of them specialize in children.  Not sure if there's a similar list compiled by another organization for adults.
