Massachusetts H1369 aims to strengthen supportive housing and reduce healthcare costs for low-income seniors.

Massachusetts H1369 amends Chapter 23B of the General Laws to require the executive office of health and human services to fund senior supportive care services for MassHealth enrollees in designated rental housing projects for seniors over 55. The bill mandates a fixed annual payment of $2500 per enrollee, contingent on certain conditions being met, including majority MassHealth residency and cluster contracting with homecare agencies. The executive office must also report annually on the number of Medicaid recipients and cost savings realized by this initiative.
