Webinar 4/22: Forming Strategic Partnerships Between Housing, Medicaid HCBS Payers, and Community-Based Services

Reminder ACL/CMS Webinar 4/22: Forming Strategic Partnerships Between Housing, Medicaid HCBS Payers, and Community-Based Services Thursday, April 22, 3:00 - 4:30 pm ET Register for the webinar. Despite an unprecedented shortage of affordable and accessible housing, today many low-income older adults and people with disabilities in congregate and institutional settings urgently need to transition to affordable and accessible housing in the community. This webinar provides strategies and best practices to form partnerships between housing, Medicaid HCBS payers, and community-based services to successfully address housing challenges. These partnerships can enable stakeholders to leverage the unprecedented influx of COVID related funding (CARES Act, Omnibus, and American Rescue/Recovery Plan) for rental assistance and pre/post housing related services and supports, ensuring Medicaid HCBS beneficiaries are housed securely and can actively participate in their community. Panelists: Marcella A. Maguire, Ph.D., Director, Health Systems Integration, Center for Supportive Housing Michelle Missler, President and CEO, American Association of Service Coordinators Susan Henderson, Team Support Director, Hope House Foundation Ashley Mancine, Manager, Housing Strategy, Community HealthChoices, UPMC Health Plans Alicia Anderson, Management and Program Analyst, Office of Interagency Innovation, Center for Integrated Programs, Administration for Community Living The webinar will be recorded.
