Wisconsin will be launching a new initiative to provide housing support services to Wisconsin Medicaid members.
The housing applies for those experiencing housing insecurity who are also affected by mental health or substance issues.
To be eligible, applicants must be at least 18-years old, experiencing or be at risk of homelessness, have a substance use or mental health condition, and meet specific income thresholds.
The services under this benefit will be provided by organizations that are affiliated with a Tribal nation or are part of the Continuum of Care Program in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Kirsten Johnson explained that, “This new program offers a support system grounded in the stability, dignity, and well-being that secure housing can provide.”
The services will go into effect on February 1st.
For more information, call (920) 266-1683 or visit DHS.Wisconsin.gov.
