Story of Impact from Minnesota’s Housing Scorecard, Feb. 2020:
Housing Goal Five – Link Homes and Services
Minnesota seniors and people with disabilities soon will have more help finding and keeping housing, thanks to funding coming from the state’s Medicaid program beginning July 2020. The funding will go to services available for seniors and people with disabilities—including mental illness and substance use disorder—who are homeless, living in institutions, or at risk of becoming homeless or institutionalized. This serves to increase long-term stability by supporting people as they plan for, find, and move into their own homes, while also helping people stay in the community. When fully implemented, an estimated 7,600 people will receive these services.
