MRT Health Home Supportive Housing

Established in 2018, the Medicaid Redesign Team (MRT) program combines housing subsidies with coordinated care management for Medicaid beneficiaries 18 and older who are experiencing homelessness, were previously incarcerated, or are high utilizers of hospitals.

HSNY also partners with the Community Care Management Program (CCMP), a New York State approved Health Home, to deliver integrated wraparound services that address both health and social needs.

Impact and Benefits

Care Managers act as a consistent point of contact, helping clients access services, reduce unnecessary hospital visits, and improve overall well-being. Addressing health stability alongside housing helps participants reduce crisis-driven care and strengthen long-term stability.

Referrals and eligibility

Eligibility is verified using provider assessments, pharmacy data, PSYCKES reports, and other medical records. Referrals come from healthcare providers, HSNY programs, street outreach teams, and community partners.
