MassHealth is requesting permission from the federal Medicaid agency (CMS) to spend federal money on housing assistance for MassHealth members eligible for EA Shelter. If approved, this would bring significant federal money into the EA Shelter system. The money would be used for shelter costs, as well as supportive health-related services for MassHealth members.
To support this effort, Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, Greater Boston Legal Services, Health Care For All, and the Jewish Alliance for Law and Social Action coordinated the drafting of a
sign-on letter to CMS urging them to approve MassHealth's request. This letter will be cc'd to MassHealth. To accommodate the urgent need for CMS's approval, our strategy is to send one sign-on letter with many signatories.
Please use this form to sign your organization onto this letter by COB November 28, and please share this sign-on link (
