An estimated 18 million people with disabilities living in the United States are eligible for federal housing assistance, but do not receive it. Due to low wages and lack of accessible housing options, renters with disabilities are often priced out of their local housing markets, or are moderately or severely cost-burdened if they do have housing. The Money Follows the Person (MFP) demonstration, administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), was established in 2005 to ensure people with disabilities who need long-term services and supports can receive them in the setting of their choice. The MFP Demonstration is intended to enable grantees—including 41 state and territory Medicaid offices—to experiment and evaluate how new ideas help people with disabilities move to, and remain in, their communities. This includes bolstering home- and community-based services and helping people who choose to move out of institutional settings to secure community-based housing.
