Medicaid and Housing Related Services

A growing number of states are using their Medicaid programs to address the Social Drivers of Health for Medicaid members. This trend includes Housing Related Services (HRS) such as Housing Navigation, Tenancy Sustaining Services and funds for move in costs. The referral processes and details will differ state to state and CSH is tracking those details with an eye to scaling supportive housing services in our communities.

Interest in these details vary by audience. State medicaid offices are interested in which Medicaid authority, delivery system or payment mechanism is used so they can develop their own programs and build on lessons learned of early adopter states. Health centers as referral sources for these services want to how what are the services, the target population and how to make referrals. Supportive housing providers want to know service definitions, provider requirements and rates to see if it makes sense for their agency to contract for these services.

CSH has summarized publicly available material in a system to answer the key questions via audience and state.
