Aligning Housing Resources with Medicaid-Funded Housing Services

Increasingly, states are adding coverage of housing-related services under Medicaid that can be coordinated with housing assistance to provide supportive housing for eligible individuals experiencing homelessness. Under TAC’s cooperative agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Office of Special Needs Assistance Programs, TAC developed Medicaid-Funded Housing Services: Opportunities for Alignment and Coordination with Housing Resources within Homeless Coordinated Entry Systems — an explanatory brief that offers basic information and strategies to help Continuums of Care and Coordinated Entry systems align and coordinate Medicaid-funded pre-tenancy and tenancy-sustaining services with housing assistance to help individuals achieve and maintain housing. The brief is intended to help communities offer housing with appropriate services in states currently covering or planning to cover such services under Medicaid.
