Housing services, support and assistance

What is the Housing Support Program?

Beginning July 1, 2025, Medicaid will pay for some housing-related services for eligible individuals enrolled in NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid. The Housing Support Program provides access to housing support services that help homeless or housing-insecure individuals find, obtain and maintain stable housing, which ultimately improves health outcomes. With this assistance, the integration of NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid funding and care coordination through managed care organizations will seamlessly deliver whole-person care while enhancing existing funding programs for the housing insecure.
