Leveraging Medicaid: A Guide to Using Medicaid Financing in Supportive Housing

2008

Medicaid plays a critical role in financing services and supports for many people who need permanent supportive housing. However, because of the complexity of the Medicaid program, supportive housing providers and local and state government agencies are not always able to access these resources systematically.

This guidebook from CSH and the Technical Assistance Collaborative is designed to facilitate the use of Medicaid as a source of funding for services in permanent supportive housing for:

  • Policymakers
  • State Medicaid Programs
  • Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
  • Health policy leaders
  • Counties
  • Service providers
  • Advocates
