Can we continue using Supported Housing funds while a Non-TXIX/XXI person with SMI transitions safely to another living arrangement?
According to the Guidelines, the supported housing line item is not to be used to fund room and board for residential treatment facilities for NT19 and the services they receive are crisis and medication. This applies to NT19 Assisted Living as well. It is recommended that the room and board charges be modeled after AHCCCS/ALTCS sliding fee scale and become the responsibility of the individual. However, the limits around the supported housing line item will not apply to any other funding source, including county intergovernmental agreements. The RBHAs can continue to fund housing for a NT19 person using some other source of funding after July 1.
