Money Follows the Person Program

Funding to help older adults access long-term services and supports at home

The Department of Health and Human Services has announced $25 million in funding to help states strengthen their ability to help seniors and people with disabilities access home and community-based long-term services and supports. Funding will support Aging and Disability Resource Centers in nearly every state. Meanwhile, a new Mathematica Research report shows that the Money Follows the Person Program is 36% below its state target for moving low-income elderly and disabled people from long-term care facilities into the community.
