Most states offer Medicaid programs that cover home modifications to enable elderly and/or disabled individuals to remain living at home. These Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) and Managed Care programs cover the cost of minor home repairs and modifications like wheelchair ramps, HVAC, flooring and grab bars and railings. This presentation will provide an overview of Medicaid, share how to use Medicaid HCBS waivers as a resource for home repair and modification, and show your organization how to access and navigate these programs in your state. 

Attendees will earn 1 credit of continuing education credit for the following NAHB professional designations: CAPS, CGA, CGB, CGR, GMB and GMR.

The Coalition for Home Repair provides funding, advocacy, and educational resources for organizations and institutions that ensure the preservation of safe, healthy, affordable housing for all. The Coalition began as a conference of like-minded organizations seeking ways to share wisdom, resources, and best practices within the home repair and rehab community. Out of that was born a national trade association and a foundation that brought together organizations from across the country to make our collective stronger. Today, we're a coalition of nonprofits, local governments, and churches who repair homes and partner with businesses, sponsors, other nonprofits and individuals to make a bigger impact.
