Abstract
The Medicaid Redesign Team Supportive Housing (MRT-SH) programs serve individuals who were previously homeless, at risk of becoming homeless, or institutionalized. Drawing from qualitative interview and focus group data, this report describes how several MRT-SH programs are being implemented, based on administrative, staff, and participant perspectives. We describe the overall program context and key components, then present staff and administrative perspectives regarding program targeting and eligibility determinations, program changes or innovations since receiving MRT-SH funding, the nature of housing and services offered, strategies for decreasing Medicaid costs, perceptions of participants’ progress, and staff and administrative views of program strengths and weaknesses. Participant perspectives are also presented, which highlight the participants’ housing status and lived experience prior to entering the program, their perceptions of housing and services, any changes they may have experienced since entering the program, and their views of program strengths and weaknesses.
