Addressing Housing-Related Needs Through Medicaid
In the February 2024 Housing & Health issue of Health Affairs, Katie Huber of Duke University and coauthors offer a mixed methods analysis ([link removed] ) of North Carolina Medicaid’s Health Opportunities Pilot Program.
The program is “among the nation’s most expansive Medicaid programs to address health-related social needs, including housing.”
Among the findings, the researchers identify four critical themes:
- The housing landscape varies within and across Health Opportunities Pilots regions.
- Defining and pricing housing services in Medicaid is complex.
- Successful implementation of housing services involves engaging diverse stakeholders.
- Housing is the most expensive Health Opportunities Pilots service domain.
The authors conclude that findings from this program could inform other state and federal initiatives.
For more on this paper, check out a video abstract ([link removed] ) featuring author Katie Huber.
