Increases funding for Medicaid residential services in Hawaii to support community-based care for kupuna.
The bill addresses the need for increased funding for residential services in community care foster family homes and expanded adult residential care homes to support community-based care for Hawaii's elderly population, known as kupuna. It allocates $5,810,000 for fiscal year 2026-2027 to increase funding for these services, aiming to reach the "medium" rate scenario from a 2022 Milliman study. The bill also mandates the Department of Human Services to secure maximum federal matching funds and explore all available funding sources, including private grants.
