Housing Stabilization Services (HSS)

Housing Stabilization Services, offered by Friendship Care LLC, is a Medical Assistance benefit designed to assist individuals with disabilities, seniors, and those at risk of homelessness in finding and maintaining housing. Recognized as state plan Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), HSS comprises three distinct services: Housing Consultation, Housing Transition, and Sustaining.

Eligibility for HSS is open to individuals facing various living situations, making it a suitable option for those already residing in unsuitable conditions, experiencing homelessness, living with family, or in institutional settings like hospitals, nursing homes, or intermediate care facilities (ICF).

The program emphasizes creating a housing-focused person-centered plan, tailored to individual needs, preferences, and informed choices.

To commence the process, we engage in comprehensive planning, beginning with an assessment. Our team works collaboratively with you to identify suitable housing, facilitate the move, and conduct follow-ups to ensure a smooth transition.

To initiate the housing process, our Housing Consultant Specialist will meet with you to complete a housing-focused person-centered plan, which guides us in providing the necessary support for finding and maintaining your housing.

Housing Consultation is a service aimed at developing a person-centered plan for individuals without MA case management services. This service assists in building a housing-focused person-centered plan, supporting individuals in making informed choices regarding housing transitions or sustaining providers. Additionally, consultation services connect individuals to non-housing-related resources identified in their person-centered plans.

Housing Transition is a service dedicated to supporting individuals in finding suitable housing, while Housing Sustaining focuses on helping individuals maintain their housing.
