Housing-Related Supports
Medicaid plays a critical role in financing services and supports that allow many individuals to obtain and sustain stable housing. Opportunities under certain Medicaid authorities provide for housing-related supports and activities that can be reimbursed for Medicaid-covered individuals. These include supports that can assist an individual to prepare for housing, make the transition, and maintain a successful tenancy.
