Assist participants, who have Medicaid, are 55 and older or 18 and older with a documented chronic disability. OHS is intended to help high-needs Medicaid recipients that have lived in a nursing home for 120 days and are homeless. Housing Specialists assist people with enrollment in the Olmstead Housing Subsidy Program; serve as a liaison with landlords; conduct inspections of rental units to ensure health and safety; and hold monthly calls with all participants. Participants pay 30 percent of their monthly income toward rent for an apartment. If participants qualify; additional funding could be available for security deposits, moving expenses, and basic household furnishings.
