Legislation & Policy

Partnerships between medicaid and supportive housing providers

For almost two decades now, cities around the country have been demolishing traditional public housing and relocating residents to subsidized private market rental housing.

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) amended the McKinney-Vento Act’s Education for Homeless Children and Youth program, as well as Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.

This short document provides basic information to help housing and homeless assistance providers advocate with their families and youth for appropriate educational services, from birth through higher education.

We sought to learn more about how state- and locally funded rental assistance programs were created, how they are structured, whom they serve, and how they are funded.
