Express Interest Now: State Medicaid-Housing Agency Partnerships New Technical Support Opportunity The CMS Medicaid Innovation Accelerator Program (IAP)'s Community-Integration in Long-Term Service and Supports (CI-LTSS) Program Area is launching a technical support opportunity for up to eight states seeking to implement housing and service changes that will increase community living options for Medicaid beneficiaries requiring long-term services and supports. Selected states will have the opportunity to work with industry experts through their individualized technical support and state-to-state learning activities. Consistent with statute, CMS does not provide Federal Financial Participation for room and board in home and community-based services. This technical support opportunity is open to all states, including those that have previously participated in the Medicaid IAP State Medicaid-Housing Agency Partnerships Track and are ready to implement housing and/or services initiatives. The Expression of Interest form is posted on the CMS Medicaid IAP website with the Program Overview and slides from the informational webinar. State Expression of Interest forms will be accepted on a rolling basis now through Thursday, February 28, 2019. IAP encourages all states interested in strengthening their State Medicaid-Housing Agency Partnerships and implementing related programs to submit an Expression of Interest form.
