The Department is seeking federal funding pursuant to Section 2105(a)(1)(D)(ii) of the Social Security Act for the development and implementation of a housing support services program through the use of a Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) health services initiative. Federal assistance is necessary to minimize and further prevent negative health outcomes among children and pregnant women associated with brief or extended periods of homelessness. Under this program the Department will create a grant program that will provide funding to homeless assistance providers to deliver services necessary to find families housing and to retain that housing.
The change will be effective April 1, 2022 and is projected to result in increased annual expenditures of $1,957,824.00 all funds (AF), composed of $1,407,871.24 federal match (FED) and $549,952.76 state funds/general purpose revenue (GPR).
