DHS Announces Innovative Medicaid Housing Benefit

Starting February 1, 2025, Wisconsin will launch a new initiative to provide housing support services to Wisconsin Medicaid members experiencing housing insecurity who are also affected by substance use or mental health conditions. Wisconsin is one of the first states in the country to use housing solutions funded through Medicaid to achieve improved health outcomes for members.

"This new program offers a support system grounded in the stability, dignity, and well-being that secure housing can provide," said Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Secretary-designee Kirsten Johnson. "For people who are struggling with substance use or mental health challenges, having a place they can call home can significantly improve their overall health and quality of life."
