CSH is sponsoring the launch of the Medicaid Institute for Supportive Housing Agencies (MISHA) in Connecticut. Representatives from approximately 8-10 selected supportive housing in CT will meet seven times for a full day beginning from March through September 2014. CSH is working in conjunction with the Technical Assistance Collaborative (TAC) to deliver MISHA, in which participating agencies will learn about: the range of Medicaid services and programs providers of supportive housing are or may be eligible for beginning in 2014 and beyond; service model and primary care/prevention approaches; the processes for becoming eligible for Medicaid programs; how service agencies can assist participants to become eligible and maintain Medicaid eligibility; assessing needs and impact of Medicaid coverage for populations not previously covered; conducting self-assessments to determine if they should consider becoming a Medicaid provider or a referring/supporting organization; successful approaches to being full service partners with Medicaid providers for the benefit of supportive housing participants; and developing business plans to either become Medicaid billable organizations or developing strategic partnerships with Medicaid providers in order to increase capacity of supportive housing services. Application Due Date: February 13, 2014
