Abstract

This report presents findings on the targeting practices of programs and providers receiving Medicaid Redesign Team Supportive Housing (MRT-SH) funds, with implications for policy and practice. The report describes who is being enrolled in MRT-SH programs, including demographic, clinical, and other participant characteristics; spending profiles in the 12 months before housing enrollment; and the extent to which programs are enrolling participants who are high need, high cost Medicaid users, relative to similar diagnostic groups in a sample of the general Medicaid population. The report also examines how the programs are currently defining and implementing eligibility criteria, and details the targeting practices described by the providers.
