Housing programs and services

Housing Stabilization Services is a new Minnesota Medical Assistance benefit to help people with disabilities, including mental illness and substance use disorder, and seniors find and keep housing.

People with disabilities often need support to live successfully in the community. Affordable housing is not always enough; challenges such as mental illness and developmental disabilities can make it difficult for someone to find housing, budget, interact with landlords and neighbors, and understand the rules of a lease.

However, that support has often been unavailable. With the right supports, provided by a professional with knowledge and experience in housing, more people can be successful. This is where Housing Stabilization Services can help.
