CMS Approves Renewal of

NJ FamilyCare Comprehensive 1115 Demonstration

CMS has approved renewal of the New Jersey FamilyCare Comprehensive 1115 Demonstration. The approved renewal period will run from April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2028. Commissioner Adelman provided important context for this update on the connection between health and housing.


“For many Medicaid beneficiaries, the lack of affordable, appropriate housing is frequently a critical barrier to wellness,” Commissioner Adelman said. “This can lead to unnecessary hospitalization, institutionalization, or other avoidable instances of costly care that often come with negative outcomes and chronic conditions. Housing supports can make a particular difference for those with serious mental health concerns or substance use disorders, older adults, people with disabilities, members who were once incarcerated, and individuals and families who have experienced or are at risk for homelessness.”


SHA's Executive Director, Diane Riley, also spoke to the advances made possible with this approval. "SHA is grateful for this news as key housing-related services, including housing transition and tenancy support services will make a world of difference for so many to sustain healthy homes and fulfilled lives."


As a reminder, the 1115 demonstration provides the state with federal authority to operate large parts of the NJ FamilyCare program. This renewal extends authority for existing successful programs and lays the groundwork for further innovation in a range of areas. These new initiatives include addressing health-related social needs with a particular focus on housing, supporting further integration of behavioral and physical health services, and piloting new and creative approaches to providing care, such as innovative Community Health Worker pilots. 

  

Review the approval and the Demonstration Special Terms and Conditions (STCs) on CMS's website. 

HUD Issues Final Rule Reinstating

Discriminatory Effects Standard

HUD issued a final rule that reinstates that agency’s discriminatory effects standard for disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act. The rule, which will go into effect on May 1st, reinstitutes a previous standard established in 2013 for addressing practices and policies that are seemingly neutral but disproportionately impact groups protected under the Act, regardless of whether they were adopted with discriminatory intent. It also rescinds a 2020 proposal that added new requirements and defenses for claims made under the Act, but which never went into effect due to a preliminary injunction staying its implementation. With the new final rule, HUD intends to provide “clarity, consistency, and a workable, balanced framework” for analyzing discriminatory effects claims.

Recently, Executive Order 325 was released. This order directs that licensed community residences for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), certified day programs for individuals with IDD, and Support Coordinators are no longer required to maintain a policy requiring employees to provide proof that they are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination or otherwise submit to weekly testing. As a result, the Division has updated its Residential, Day Program, and Support Coordinator COVID-19 Policy to align with this new order.

Tax Filing Information From Social Security Administration

The end of tax season is fast approaching. This year the tax return filing deadline, or Tax Day, falls on April 18, 2023. 


If your client receives Social Security benefits, they should have received an annual Benefit Statement, also known as the SSA-1099 or the SSA-1042S. A Benefit Statement shows the total amount of benefits an individual received from Social Security in the previous year, so they know how much Social Security income to report to the IRS on their tax return. If your client misplaced their Benefit Statement, they can instantly get a replacement form with a personal my Social Security account.


Visit our Information for Tax Preparers webpage to learn more. 

Social Security is with you through tax season and all of life’s seasons. Please share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties.

New Issue Brief for HCBS Settings Rule

Guide For New Jersey Advocates

The Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Settings Rule establishes minimum standards to ensure that Medicaid HCBS consumers live in settings that are truly non-institutional. The Rule establishes minimum criteria for HCBS settings, clarifies locations that do not qualify as HCBS, specifies person-centered planning requirements, and outlines protocols to evaluate whether settings presumed to have characteristics of an institution meet HCBS criteria. The Rule also establishes processes for states to evaluate and remedy their policies, procedures, and HCBS provider locations to comply with the Rule. 


As the transition period for implementing the HCBS Settings Rule ended on March 17, 2023, Justice in Aging is releasing a new Issue Brief to equip New Jersey’s aging and disability advocates with information to ensure ongoing compliance and implementation of the Rule. The Home and Community-Based Services Settings Rule: A Guide for New Jersey Advocates provides an overview of the Rule, describes New Jersey’s process of updating its policies and engaging with providers to comply with the Rule, and helps advocates identify implementation challenges that may impact their clients.

Solving for Homelessness among Older Adults,

People with Disabilities, and Other Populations:

An HSRC Case Study Webinar

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 | 3:00-4:00 PM ET


Homelessness for individuals is solvable when systems that support housing, health, and community living work together to address housing instability. This Housing and Services Resource Center (HSRC) webinar features a model collaboration in a county with high rates of homelessness. Together, the regional task force on homelessness (which serves as the Continuum of Care); the county government division on aging and independence services and divisions on health; and other community-based organizations developed a coordinated approach to reducing homelessness among a population that each had been separately serving.


Webinar participants will learn, and can ask questions, about:

  • Steps that these local partners took to begin and sustain their partnership — even through challenging times.
  • Replicable strategies to create bridges across systems so individuals can have both housing without precondition and access to self-directed or person-centered comprehensive services that they choose.
  • Improvements in housing stability made possible by leveraging each sector’s strengths and expertise.

The webinar also includes a roadmap on the initial four aspects of planning cross-sector solutions to housing and homelessness. The final third of the webinar is reserved for participants’ questions.


Registrants will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the webinar. The webinar will include real-time captioning and ASL interpreting. Everyone who registers by 9:00 AM ET on April 18 will receive a Zoom reminder email that contains links to the slides, accessibility tips, and other handouts. If you need any additional accommodations, or if you have questions, please send an email to HSRC@acl.hhs.gov.


This webinar is part of an HSRC series on partnerships between systems so older adults, people with disabilities, and people experiencing homelessness can access all resources and ultimately have stable housing in the community.


Click here to register for the webinar


Launched in partnership between the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services and Housing and Urban Development, the Housing and Services Resource Center fosters cross-sector partnerships between the organizations and systems that provide housing resources and homelessness services, health care and mental health services, independent living services, and other supportive services. The HSRC is part of an interagency initiative to streamline and expand access to affordable, accessible housing and the critical services that make community living possible.

NEW DATE! Webinar: Housing Supports

For Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness

April 19, 2023 | 2:00-3:30pm ET


This webinar was originally scheduled for March 22 but will be rescheduled for April 19 to accommodate panelists. We apologize for any inconvenience. Those who have already registered should receive a message from Zoom. 


Webinar Description: 

People experiencing homelessness disproportionately experience a high burden of chronic illness, substance use disorders, and mental illness, which hasten the onset of conditions associated with aging. Shelter systems struggle to meet the needs of older unhoused adults, and existing housing systems are not designed to support individuals who need assistance with activities of daily living or experience cognitive impairment. Existing community resources for seniors often have age limits that exclude those that could otherwise benefit based on functional need. The lack of adequate shelter, housing, and supportive services results in continued homelessness, and individuals often cycle through services that are not equipped to address their needs. This webinar will present an overview of factors impacting older adults experiencing homelessness and share strategies to support their housing needs. 


Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe unique considerations affecting older adults experiencing homelessness. 
  2. Identify 2-3 promising practices to support older adults experiencing homelessness as they transition into housing. 
  3. Discuss 2-3 strategies to address the needs of older adults experiencing homelessness within the community. 


This webinar will be recorded and ASL and live captioning will be provided. Certificates of participation will be provided to those who complete a post-event evaluation, but no CEUs are included in this event.
