To provide assisted living assistance through Medicaid and low-income housing tax credit.
This bill expands Medicaid coverage to include services in assisted living facilities for individuals who currently require hospital or nursing home care, provided they meet state income and resource limits. It also modifies the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to give priority funding to projects that help reduce long-term medical costs for the elderly by offering care in non-institutional settings. Both changes are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027, allowing states time to update their laws and plans to comply with the new requirements.
