Minnesota facilitates the living, working, and playing of individuals with disabilities in their chosen communities. Finding accommodation, managing a budget, interacting with landlords and neighbors, and comprehending the terms of a lease can all be difficult due to various obstacles and issues. Minnesotans’ health depends on their ability to find and maintain stable, affordable housing. A new Medical Assistance benefit called Homes Stabilization Services is intended to assist elderly and others with disabilities in locating and maintain homes. A service that is provided in homes and communities is housing stabilization.

These services are intended to:

• Encourage a person to move into residence,
• Boost the community’s long-term housing stability and
• Avert future times of institutionalization or homelessness.
