New Frontiers in Coordinating Housing and Medicaid Services for People with Behavioral Health Conditions

Event Description: 

Mathematica is hosting a policy forum and live webinar, sponsored by the Center for Studying Disability Policy. Attendees will learn about what state and federal partners are doing to coordinate and integrate health and housing services for people with behavioral health needs. Speakers for the event are Jonathan Brown, Carol Irvin, and Matthew Kehn from Mathematica, and Jennifer Ho from HUD. The speakers will discuss the following: 

  • Why housing is an important part of efforts to treat high-need, high-cost Medicaid beneficiaries
  • Challenges and lessons from the Money Follows the Person Demonstration’s efforts to improve the availability of supportive housing for Medicaid beneficiaries moving out of institution
  • Innovative state efforts to better coordinate health and housing services for people with behavioral health conditions
  • Efforts led by HUD to partner with other federal agencies, such as CMS and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, to coordinate health and housing services

The policy forum and live webinar will take place on Thursday, April 21, 2016, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET.
