Housing Stabilization Services

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE (MA)

Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) can help you in three ways:

  1. A housing transition services provider helps you plan for, find, and move into housing. 

  2. A housing sustaining services provider helps you keep housing after move-in.

  3. A housing consultant helps develop a person-centered plan if you don't have MA case management.
